Tosefta על תרומות 11:2
Tosefta Terumot
A person may place a [terumah] pressed-fig cake or dried [terumah] figs inside fish brine in the way in which he normally places spices [inside the fish brine]. [But] he may not [thereafter] wring them out to extract the juice from them [that they absorbed]. [However], this is permitted with [terumah] spices because that is their purpose (i.e., to impart flavor). [If one] bundles up the [terumah] spices and places them into a [chullin] cooked dish -- if their flavor is negated (i.e., they are of insufficient quantity to impart flavor throughout the dish), they are permitted, and if not, they are forbidden.

Tosefta Terumot
[With respect to] date honey, Rabbi Eliezer says [that one is] liable in tithes. Said Rabbi Natan, Rabbi Eliezer agrees that [one is] exempt from tithes, but Rabbi Eliezer [nevertheless] would not eat from [date] honey until the dates had been tithed. Rabbi Eliezer agrees that if the dates were tithed, or [if they] were made into honey in Spain (beAspamya), they are permitted. [Furthermore, with respect to] date honey, Rabbi Eliezer holds that it imparts impurity due to it being a liquid. What did they disagree on? About one who put [date honey] inside water, Rabbi Eliezer hold that [any mixture of date honey and impure water] imparts impurity, but the Sages say, we follow after the majority (i.e., if the impure water is in greater proportion than the date honey, it can impart impurity).
