Honey is great for texture but if you splob in a little too much it takes the paste longer to develope. Honey is a natural preservative. It will double the shelf life of homemade bread. I suspect this preservative effect slows dye release. I can get decent stains out of five day old paste made with Castleart's,lemon juice, tea and honey. What I can't get if I overdo the honey is a decent stain before the stuff has aged at least 36-48 hours. Try your aging paste and see how it does. Shanon : I wonder what happened! My stain was absolutely normal....chocolate : on the back of my hand, raspberry-coffee on the palm. I had 1/2 a : teaspoon of local honey in 4 tbsp of paste. I'd put in coffee and : clove sludge that was hot enough to make the paste a little grainy, so : I did the honey to compensate.....same color as every other stain in : the last harvest batch.
