Honey Simple Syrup Recipe
A quick and easy Honey Simple Syrup recipe that can be used in a variety of different ways. Everything you need to know about making, using, and storing honey syrup at home!
Ingredients
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- Place the honey and water into a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Allow to heat until the honey becomes liquid, about two minutes. Do not boil.
- Place in a heat-proof jar with a tight-fitting lid. Let it come to room temperature on the kitchen counter and then store it in the fridge.
Notes
- It is impossible to dissolve honey in a cold liquid. Rather you have to thin it out in warm water. However, you shouldn't ever boil it. Excessive heat can have detrimental effects on the nutritional state of honey.
- Milder kinds of honey may be best with a two-to-one ratio of honey to water. Taste the honey you’re using and adjust the proportion of honey to water accordingly.
- This syrup can be used as a substitute for white sugar in many recipes. But you may need to add slightly more syrup than what’s called for in recipes requiring pure honey or white sugar.
