We came up with this one on the fly for a Fourth of July party in Northside when mojitos were in order, sugar was out, and time was short. Honey simple syrup is just like regular simple syrup, only you substitute the sugar for honey. Its super simple to make and very versatile. You can use the honey simple syrup as a substitute for regular, sugar-based simple syrup in cocktails, to sweeten iced and hot tea (tip: when using it to sweeten iced tea, mix in the honey simple syrup while the tea is still hot, it’ll mix in much easier than when the tea is cold), to sprinkle over fruit, or whatever else you can think up. Honey adds a more complex flavor than sugar that can really highlight a drink or dish.
Homemade Honey Simple Syrup:
1 cup water
1 cup honey
Empty wine bottle with pour spout, glass jar, or some other container to serve and/or store the mixture in
Heat the water in a pot on medium on the stove. You don’t need it boiling lava hot, just hot enough where the honey will melt. Once the water is hot, start to stir in the honey to the point of dissolving. Allow the mixture to cool and you’re ready to pour it into your container and serve.
Keep the honey simple syrup refrigerated because it WILL mold if left out. Believe us…..we learned the hard way.
