Honey Simple Syrup Recipe
This honey syrup recipe requires only 2 ingredients and 5 minutes to make. Make a batch and use it to sweeten cocktails, mocktails, coffee, tea and even baked goods in a natural way.
Servings: 1 cup (approx.)
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup honey
- 2/3 cup water
Instructions
- Place honey and water in a small saucepan over medium low heat.
- Cook until honey fully dissolves*, 1-2 minutes.
- Place in a heatproof jar, bring it to room temperature and seal with a lid before storing.
Notes
- *No need to bring it to a boil: We are heating it until it dissolves. I would highly recommend not heating it any longer as excessive heat can have negative effects on the nutritional state of honey.
- A note on the Texture of this honey syrup: Be aware that the texture of this honey syrup is very liquid-y and that is normal. If you want it to have a thicker texture you can use an additional 1/2 cup honey.
- How long does it last? Honey simple syrup will last up to 1 month as long as it is kept in an airtight container in the fridge. I am a big fan of Weck jars (affiliate link), but a mason jar would also work.
- What type of honey should I use? I usually use local organic honey that I buy from our local farmers’ market. However, raw honey (aka “as it exists in the beehive”) can also be used.
