Cotton honey tastes sweet, buttery, and smooth with a unique twist: it often has a citrusy tang, a mild spicy kick, or a slight tingle at the back of the throat, like a subtle cinnamon or mild chili, with hints of caramel, making it complex but not overly strong, like a sweet lemonade. It’s a light amber color and a popular choice for its versatility in tea, on toast, or with cheese.
