Notes

NUTRITION NOTE: The nutrition estimates above are for the entire batch of honey simple syrup.  The amount of calories consumed will depend on how much syrup you use in your recipe.
RECIPE TIPS:
  • 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
