The honey would work. But your honey would be milder in flavour than ours, most likely. Australian bush honey can sometimes be as dark as molasses, and almost as strong in flavour. A little bit goes a long way. However, medicinally.. it's brilliant. I was using some on Sunday afternoon, as hormone rooting powder for my cuttings. Honey has growth factors in it, it makes a really good gardening tool! I also use it as a wound dressing.
