"Rich" Honey Syrup
- Make a "rich" syrup by using 2 parts honey to 1 part water. This variation will be slightly thicker and have a bolder honey flavor.
Shelf Life
- Honey syrup can be kept in the refrigerator for at least 1 month, or as long as it is not cloudy and does not show signs of mold. Syrup made using a 2:1 ratio of honey to water will last longer (3-6 months).
