Tips for Making Honey Syrup

• Collect reusable bottles for your homemade simple syrups. These are the bottles I used in these photos. I also like these bottles.
• If you make multiple flavors of syrup, adding labels is a good idea.
• You can infuse many fresh and dried herbs, fruits and flavors into your syrup. Have fun experimenting with different flavors.

How Long Does Honey Syrup Last?

Honey syrup should be kept in a sealed container in the fridge. It will last for a minimum of one month. I often keep mine for a few months before making a new batch.
