Notes
The honeycomb simple syrup can be made in advance and kept inside the fridge to use in other applications.
Use the syrup to sweeten agua frescas or making other favorite festive cocktails.
The honeycomb doesn’t melt, but becomes soft and aromatic. It is also good on hot biscuits, French toast, or pancakes.
If your honey crystallizes, simply place the honey jar in warm water and stir until the crystals dissolve, or place the honey container into near boiling water that has been removed from the heat.
Remember honey never goes bad. Keep honey on your kitchen counter or pantry shelf. Do not refrigerate.
