Show Me the Honey (S05E12)

Yucatecan honey is celebrated for its vibrant color and deep flavor. Rick discovers it across various locations, from the bustling market stalls in Merida to the lavish breakfast spread at a hotel, where a honeycomb slowly oozes its golden syrup for drizzling over fruits and cereals. Back home, he incorporates this sweet nectar into his Mexican-Style Granola and a pasilla chile-infused glaze for a delicious Grilled Rack of Lamb. In the Riviera Maya, we explore Xcaret, a nature park showcasing the hollow-log hives of the beloved stingless bees cherished by the Maya. At Hacienda Vista Alegre in Merida, honey is the star ingredient in a honey-anise liqueur called Xtabentún. Rick guides us through its production process before heading home to whip up a delightful White Chocolate Ice Cream infused with the liqueur.
