Honey Simple Syrup

A.K.A Liquid Honey

Ingredients:

· 1 cup honey

· 1 cup warm water

· 6 Sage Leaves (Optional)

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the honey, sage leaves and water and bring to boil over medium high

heat, stirring constantly until honey dissolves. About 3-5 minutes.

2. Remove from heat and let cool for about 30 minutes. Discard sage leaves.

MAKE-AHEAD: Store honey simple syrup in an airtight container for up to two weeks. If storing in a refrigerator, make sure to reheat mixture in a saucepan before using (this will help achieve the original consistency and will be easier to dissolve into the drink).
