Tea and herbal infusions are among the major contributors of phenolic compounds, specifi cally fl avonoids, in our daily diet. Honey is another antioxidant-rich food that is widely used as a natural sweetener. In this work, the effects of honey addition on antioxidant properties of different herbal teas were investigated. For this purpose, 2 different types of honey (fl ower and pine honey) were added into 9 different herbal teas (melissa, green tea, rosehip, sage, echinacea, fennel, linden, daisy, and ginger) at 4 different temperatures (55˚C, 65˚C, 75˚C, and 85˚C), and the changes in the content of total pheolics, total fl avonoids, and total antioxidant capacity were determined. The total phenolic content and the total antioxidant capacity of the honey-added-tea samples were found to be increased (up to 57% for both), especially with pine honey and at higher temperatures of honey addition. The fi ndings of this study supported the use of honey as a natural sweetener in tea in order to be able to benefi t from the health-enhancing antioxidative properties of these two promising food products.
