Special Notes

This honey syrup is perfect for sweetening drinks, pancakes, or desserts. The combination of honey and sugar creates a smooth, pourable syrup that's not too thick. The vanilla extract adds depth of flavor while the lemon juice helps balance the sweetness. You can customize this recipe by adding different extracts or spices. This syrup keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and can be used in cocktails, coffee, or baking.
