What Is Honey Syrup?

A sweet syrup made by dissolving honey in water, typically in a 3:1 or 2:1 ratio (honey to water). It has the smooth, rich flavor of honey but is easier to mix in drinks compared to pure honey. Honey syrup adds a natural sweetness with floral, herbal, or fruity undertones, depending on the type of honey used. It is often used in cocktails like the Bee’s Knees or the Gold Rush, as well as in teas and desserts.
