Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make Honey syrup?
- Combine equal parts honey and hot water (e.g., 1/2 cup honey and 1/2 cup hot water) in a small saucepan or jar. Stir until the honey is completely dissolved. Let it cool before using. Store any leftover syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
