Our go-to honey simple syrup recipe is a fantastic all-natural option that is incredibly easy to make. We love to keep a batch in the fridge for cocktails, lemonade, and baking recipes. If you’re trying to reduce your white sugar intake, this honey simple syrup is the perfect solution. We use it in many Fit Foodie Finds recipes, such as Homemade Strawberry Basil Lemonade, Spicy Grapefruit Margaritas, and Easy Red Wine Sangria.
To make this honey simple syrup, all you need is a 1:1 ratio of honey to water. Simply place the honey and water in a small pot, bring to a boil, then let simmer for 10 minutes. The consistency of this syrup is not super thick, but it’s perfect for adding a touch of sweetness to your beverages.
If you want to add some flavor to your simple syrup, try combinations like Honey + Cayenne, Rosemary + Thyme, Mint + Ginger, or Lemon + Basil. After boiling the syrup, let it cool completely before storing it in the fridge for 7-10 days.
