HONEY CUBE
A honey gelatin product for use as a sweetener and the like comprises or consists of about one teaspoon of filtered alfalfa honey added into an animal gelatin cube of bovine gelatin that is solidified as for example a relatively generally cubic shaped lozenge. The invention also contemplates making a honey gelatin product for use as a sweetener that includes the step of providing a mass of clover honey and a smaller mass of liquid bovine gelatin. The honey is heated to a temperature of up to about 40° C. and filtered to remove impurities and prevent beading or removal of any existing beading therefrom. The honey is injected into the animal gelatin cube with additional herbs cooled to about 20° C. and packaged and placed into a dark covered sealed container.
