  • Total Time: 7 minutes
  • Yield: 1 ¼ cups 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup honey (raw or regular)
  • 1 cup warm water (filtered or distilled for a cleaner taste)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Water: Warm water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Avoid boiling.
  2. Mix in the Honey: Stir in honey and whisk gently until fully dissolved (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Cool & Store: Let cool to room temperature, then transfer to a glass jar or squeeze bottle.
  4. Use & Enjoy: Add to drinks, dressings, and more! Store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

Notes

  • Adjust the ratio for different thickness:
    • 1:1 ratio (honey to water) = thin syrup for cocktails.
    • 2:1 ratio = thicker syrup for drizzling over desserts.
  • To prevent crystallization, add a few drops of lemon juice.
  • Infuse with herbs (rosemary, lavender) or spices (cinnamon, ginger) for extra flavor.
