Bee Propolis Tincture - How To Take?

Question

While well aware of the benefits of this supplement, I am having trouble finding a way to actually *take* it. The bottle says to take 15 drops in a spoon of warm water. Alternately, I have tried adding it to a cup of tea as well. This stuff is so STICKY however, all it does is stick to (and ruin) spoons, cups, etc., even sticks to my teeth, it's horrible. Is there a way to take this tincture and actually be able to ingest it without having it stick to everything else on the way?

Answer 1

I have had the same problem. You end up scraping it off your teeth with difficulty. Here are a couple of ideas I use:

1. Mix it with honey, it sticks a lot less.

2. Put drops into an empty hard shell capsule. You should be able to get empty capsules that twist open from a pharmacist or a health store. Fill a capsule just before you swallow it; a capsule will dissolve in your stomach but stay firm enough while you fill it with the liquid.
