**Note: This item is not yet infused/in stock, but available for pre-order.
$4.00 is for a set of 5 straws. The honey comes in the following flavors: Raw, unflavored: Clover, Wildflower, or Buckwheat
Infused: Lemon, Ginger, Cranberry, Currant, Sage, or Lavender.
I can also make straws with maple syrup inside instead of honey, upon request.
I'm also considering spearmint, if I get requests for it. I don't like working with peppermint because it interacts negatively with many prescription drugs, over the counter drugs like antacids, and may adversely affect medical conditions such as autoimmune disorders. More information on this at the bottom of the page.
There are no guarantees I will have your preferred flavors in stock, please contact me to inquire.

***Important warnings/disclaimers to consumers:
1. None of my infused honey contains essential oils of any kind, as there is no such thing as "food grade" essential oils, this is a common myth akin to snake oil, pushed by the exploitative new age "natural health" community. I won't even use them for toothpaste as they are potentially harmful when consumed.
2. Lavender in any form is harmful to the hormonal balance of children. Children, specifically young boys who have yet to reach puberty, should avoid lavender oil and products that contain lavender oil as they may disrupt normal hormone levels. In some cases, boys developed abnormal breast growth called gynecomastia. Effects on young girls are unknown. (Because of course they only did scientific research with boys) If you purchase Lavender in any form, it isn't safe to give to or leave accessible around children 16 and under.
3. CNS depressants and anticonvulsants may increase or potentiate narcotic and sedative effects when given in combination with lavender-containing products. Anticoagulants may increase the risk of bleeding when given concomitantly with lavender. Lavender may also cause additive cholesterol-lowering effects when given with other drugs that lower cholesterol (eg, statins, nicotinic acid, fibric acid derivatives).
4. Potential side effects: Taking lavender by mouth may cause constipation, headache, and increased appetite, while applying lavender to the skin may cause irritation. It may cause allergic contact dermatitis and photosensitization. Do not mix with tea tree oils.
5. ***Peppermint warnings....strap in cos this is gonna blow your mind:
Drugs taken for stomach acid, blood pressure, cyclosporine and diabetes, interact with peppermint tea and cause side effects. Peppermint contains menthol, which can aggravate stomach ulcers and cause further damage. People with haital hernias must also avoid.
6. Peppermint, especially peppermint oil may cause the liver to break down some medications slower. Taking peppermint oil along with some medications that are broken down by the liver can increase the effects and side effects of some medications.
Drink tea at least 2 hours before or after taking medications like omeprazole, zantac, or tums. It might also stimulate uterine blood flow and put pregnancy at risk. Peppermint might cause breathing difficulties and burning sensation in the mouth in small children and babies.
7. Drug interactions: Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), amitriptyline (Elavil), haloperidol (Haldol), ondansetron (Zofran), propranolol (Inderal), theophylline (Theo-Dur, others), verapamil (Calan, Isoptin, etc), and pantoprazole (Protonix); diazepam (Valium); carisoprodol (Soma); nelfinavir (Viracept), etc. Diclofenac (Cataflam, Voltaren), ibuprofen (Motrin), meloxicam (Mobic), and piroxicam (Feldene); celecoxib (Celebrex); amitriptyline (Elavil); warfarin (Coumadin); glipizide (Glucotrol); losartan (Cozaar), lovastatin (Mevacor), ketoconazole (Nizoral), itraconazole (Sporanox), fexofenadine (Allegra), triazolam (Halcion), etc.
