Honey Simple Syrup

A simple syrup is a liquid sweetener and additive that you can use to lighten up a bitter or harsh flavor.   Used in all manners of cooking, it is a quite common ingredient in alcoholic beverages to sweeten the flavor and cut the sharp taste of a liquor.  Typically made from sugar solids dissolved at high temp in water or some other liquid, we elect to steer clear of sugar solids and un-natural sweeteners to use Honey.   Honey offers many benefits on it's own, and when teamed up with CBD, it makes for a great additive to your drinks, foods, and treats that need a sweetener.
