Stuph™ Honey Emulsion Recipe
Creating a Stable Honey Emulsion with Stuph™ for Versatile Applications
Honey is an excellent natural sweetener, but its high viscosity and water content can make it challenging to integrate into low-water (food) or high-water (drink) formulations. By using Stuph™, we can create a stable honey emulsion that allows for smooth dispersion in both high and low water applications.
1. Choosing the Right Stuph™ Type
• For drinks (high-water applications) → Use Drink Stuph™, which is optimized for solubility and dispersion in water-based solutions.
• For food (low-water applications) → Use Food Stuph™, designed for stable emulsions and structured formulations.
• For versatility in both → Use a combination of Drink Stuph™ and Food Stuph™ to create an adaptable honey emulsion.
2. Stuph™ Honey Emulsion Recipe
Ingredients:
- ½ cup honey (raw or pasteurized)
- 1 tbsp Drink Stuph™ (for water-based applications like beverages)
- 1 tbsp Food Stuph™ (for low-water applications like spreads, candies, or coatings)
- ¼ cup neutral oil (e.g., sunflower oil, MCT oil, or light olive oil)
- ¼ cup warm water (if making a more fluid emulsion for drinks)
- ¼ tsp lecithin powder (optional, for extra emulsification stability)
- 1 tsp citric acid or lemon juice (optional, for acidity balance and preservation)
3. Instructions:
For a Fluid Drink-Ready Honey Emulsion:
- In a blender or mixing bowl, combine honey, Drink Stuph™, and warm water.
- Slowly drizzle in neutral oil while blending on low to create a smooth emulsion.
- Add lecithin powder (if using) to enhance emulsification stability.
- Blend on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until fully incorporated.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Shake before use.
- Use in energy drinks, sodas, or flavored water!
For a Thick Food-Grade Honey Emulsion:
- In a mixing bowl, combine honey and Food Stuph™ until smooth.
- Slowly mix in neutral oil while whisking or blending.
- Add a small amount of Drink Stuph™ if you want a hybrid emulsion that works in both food and drink applications.
- For enhanced stability, mix in lecithin powder and citric acid.
- Blend or whisk until creamy and homogeneous.
- Store in an airtight jar at room temperature or in the fridge for extended shelf life.
- Use as a spread, in baking, or as a sweetener in low-water applications!
