Simple Syrup

Simple syrup is an essential component of the mixologist's repertoire.  Typically made with granulated sugar and water, it is used to sweeten iced drinks and cocktails alike.  This recipe is just as easy to prepare, and will add depth of flavor to any beverage.


Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup Honey (works best with a low viscosity honey, such as Love a Bee Smokey Sage)
  • 1/2 cup Hot Water

Instructions:

  1. Measure honey and transfer to a mixing bowl or jar. 
  2.  Add the same amount of hot water (from the tap – boiling water can destroy the beneficial properties present in raw honey).  If using a bowl, stir with a fork or a whisk until combined.  If using a jar, screw the lid on tightly and shake for twenty seconds.
