Honey Syrup
100g | water |
150g | honey |
Honey is roughly 82 percent sugar and very, very thick. It is hard to use at the bar unless you make it into a thinner syrup. To make a honey syrup that can be substituted for simple syrup in any recipe, add 64 grams of water to every 100 grams of honey (note that the honey must be weighed; it is much denser than water). Unlike simple syrup, honey has some protein in it. Those proteins will increase the foaminess of shaken drinks, especially those with acidity in them as well.

Combine honey and water in a small pot. Stir until honey is dissolved. Don’t allow to boil. Set aside to cool then pour into squeeze bottle.
