Honey Simple Syrup

This is going to seem like a really simplistic post...and it is. But you'll appreciate it over the next couple of weeks when this (literally) simple syrup serves as a key ingredient in a couple of delicious summer cocktails.

Honey Simple Syrup
Take equal parts of honey and water and simmer (or microwave) until honey is dissolved. Let cool and pour into a bottle or jar. The syrup will keep in your refrigerator for up to two weeks.


(Note: You could also steep mint or even basil in the hot syrup for a few minutes for some added flavor.)

I'll post a couple of cocktail recipes that puts this to good use over the next couple of weeks. But it also would be a great way to sweeten your iced tea to stay cool over the hot summer.
