Unpasturized honey and even regular honey is really only dangerous to infants due to rare case of botulism. Honey contains antimicrobial and antibacterial properties and you get more of these properties when the honey is not all heated up and cooked out. So germs cannot really thrive in that type of environment, unlike cheese and milk. Honey has been found in ancient Egyptian burial tombs (before pasturization) and still had all its active properties and in good condition.
Also keep in mind you are putting it in hot tea which would also kill any germs if, big if, they are in there. Honey in the raw form also contains propolis which is another big-time germ killer which will be healing to your sore throat! So IMHO as one who has been studying all things natural for years, it is safe and I still use it.
