Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup raw or regular honey
  • 1/4 cup water

Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk or wooden spoon
  • Glass jar with lid
  • Funnel (optional)

Method
 

  1. Measure out 1 cup raw or regular honey and 1/4 cup water and place them in a small saucepan.
  2. Heat the saucepan over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon to combine and prevent burning.
  3. Watch for light steam and a thinner consistency, but avoid bringing the mixture to a boil.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool at room temperature for 1 minute.
  5. Using a funnel if desired, pour the syrup into a clean glass storage jar.
  6. Allow the syrup to cool completely (about 15 to 20 minutes) before sealing to prevent condensation.

Notes

Store in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Warm gently before use if the syrup thickens.
