Adding honey to a cider

[lseabo00]

I am thinking about making a peach cider and flavoring with honey. I'm not sure if I should add the honey during fermentation or maybe prior to bottling as the carb sugar. Any advise and/or insight is appreciated.

Why not both times and make it really good! WVMJ

My thinking is to add it prior to ferment to help bump the OG instead of using corn sugar but use the sugar for carbing when I bottle. I didn't think about using at both times. The honey is raw and unfiltered. Do I need to do anything to it before I add it at either times?

I added honey to a cider pre-fermentation before. Nothing special really.... warmed up honey (did not boil) just enough to pour easily and added to fermentation vessel before yeast.
