Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup honey (350 grams)
- 1 cup water (240 milliliters)
Instructions
- Select a medium-sized saucepan and measure equal parts honey (340 grams or ) and water (340 milliliters or 12 fluid ounces).
- Pour the honey and water into the saucepan, using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to gently blend the ingredients until they are uniformly integrated.
- Position the saucepan on the stovetop over medium-low heat, carefully warming the liquid mixture to dissolve the honey completely without allowing it to reach a boiling point.
- Stir the mixture intermittently during the heating process, which should require approximately 3-5 minutes, ensuring the honey melts smoothly into the water.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat source once the honey has fully dissolved and the liquid appears translucent and smooth.
- Allow the syrup to cool naturally at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, preventing any condensation or temperature shock.
- Once the syrup has reached ambient temperature, transfer the liquid into a clean glass storage container with an airtight lid, such as a mason jar or sealed bottle.
- Refrigerate the honey simple syrup, which will maintain its quality and flavor for up to four weeks when stored properly in the coldest section of your refrigerator.
