Notes
*Note on type of honey to use: I would recommend using a lighter variety of honey for your simple syrup. I typically use a local clover honey (one of the most popular and common varieties in the US) when making my honey simple syrup. I have also used wildflower honey and tupelo honey to make honey simple syrup. These varieties brought a different, and enjoyable, flavor profile to this simple syrup recipe. If you have a favorite honey variety, give it a try!
*Note on how to store honey simple syrup: Any air-tight container will do. I prefer to use glass containers and often use either an old honey jar (it’s shaped like a bear and it makes me happy) or a mason jar.
