Description

Honey syrup is a sweet and viscous ingredient made from natural honey, to which water is added and sometimes lightly cooked to achieve a more liquid texture that is easier to handle in recipes. This syrup retains the floral aroma and characteristic flavor of honey, but with a consistency that enhances its use in preparations such as desserts, beverages, marinades, and sauces.

Honey syrup has its origins in beekeeping traditions, where honey has been used since ancient times as a natural sweetener. Its transformation into a syrup extends its culinary utility, making it easier to incorporate into both cold and hot dishes.

Among its properties, honey syrup stands out as a natural source of antioxidants and nutrients like vitamins and minerals, in addition to having a lower glycemic index than refined sugar, making it a healthier alternative for sweetening preparations.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, this ingredient may also be known as diluted honey, liquid honey, or simply thinned honey, terms that refer to its more fluid and manageable form for culinary uses.
