Derived from the ingredient records. The sugar figure is honey's own, diluted. Every figure here is derived from the ingredient records this recipe names, not measured in a bottle: mass and volume are summed over the lines and the density falls out of the two. The method is worth one check: a one-to-one syrup comes out at 1.228 g/ml against the 1.230 published for a 50% sucrose solution at 20 degrees, a difference of 0.15%. It is marked estimated because a derivation is not a measurement.

    Warm the 150 ml water to no more than 50 °C and whisk in the 300 g honey until it is evenly mixed. Honey is worth keeping below a simmer: heat drives off the volatile aromatics that were the reason for reaching for honey rather than sugar.

  2. rest · 20m

    Cool and bottle. It separates slightly on standing and needs a shake before use.

The amounts above are the batch this recipe makes, not a portion of it, and they do not scale with any drink count, because a preparation is made once and then measured out of.
