Notes
How to Make Hot Honey Syrup
1/4 cup hot honey
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup water
Method:
Warm honey and water until smooth.
Strain and chill.
Add a Twist
Add a few drops of vanilla extract (or 0.25 oz vanilla syrup). Vanilla softens the heat and blends beautifully with cardamom, giving the cocktail a rounder, creamier finish.
