FAQs

How long does homemade honey syrup last? ›

Add the honey and water into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the honey is dissolved. Allow to cool and transfer to an airtight container. Syrup will keep, refrigerated, for up to 1 month.

Always store your honey in an airtight, glass container. Otherwise, the hygroscopic (water-loving) sugars in the honey will absorb moisture from the air, leading to the growth of undesirable yeasts.

The easiest substitution is to make a batch of simple syrup and add a teaspoon or so of vanilla extract. The flavor can be a bit strong if you use too much extract, so only add a little at a time, to taste. You'll have the best results if you use real vanilla extract, rather than imitation.

Opinions on the proportion of water that should be added to this vary from 1:1 honey to water, to 2:1 and 3:1. I prefer and recommend 3 parts honey to 1 part water as this achieves the desired fluidity while retaining mouthfeel and viscosity.

It is shelf stable when unopened, but we'd recommend using within a year of purchase for best flavor. Our Honey Syrup will last for about a month after opening if kept refrigerated. Always refrigerate after opening.

In general, honey doesn't spoil. However, it can go bad if it's contaminated or incorrectly stored. If your honey has visible mold, or if it smells fermented or "off," then it's time to toss it.

You should also refrain from putting it in the fridge, as this can cause it to thicken and change its texture. Keep it away from sunlight, which causes the particles in raw honey to degrade, negatively impacting the nutritional benefits. Try to remember to wipe down the honey jar each time before replacing the lid.

Since moisture can cause honey to go bad, it is very important that any chilies, peppers, or herbs are completely dried because you place them in the jar of honey to infuse. As long as no water is introduced into the honey, it will never expire.

They all taste like vanilla with subtle differences. The vanilla bean is a stronger flavor (just like vanilla bean ice cream has a stronger flavor). Per Torani, the French Vanilla is more custard like in flavor. Hope that helps!

Does vanilla extract work as vanilla syrup? ›

While you can use vanilla extract while making vanilla syrup, vanilla extract and vanilla syrup are not the same things. Vanilla syrup is a sweet simple syrup infused with vanilla flavor. Vanilla extract is a concentrated flavoring agent that is made when vanilla pods are soaked in an alcohol mixture.

Unflavored syrup can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a month. However, flavored syrups (especially fruit-flavored) should be used within 2 weeks of when they're made. I usually keep mine in a mason jar but any airtight container with a good lid will work great.

It is incredibly easy to make, therefore I prefer to do it myself, so I have a bit more control over how much sugar goes into my co*cktails. Simple syrup made this way have a shelf life of 1-2 weeks in a fridge. Rich syrup, however have a shelf life of months (sometimes more than half a year) if kept in a fridge.

No, honey does not go bad. Because honey has a low water content and high acidity, it's an unfriendly place for bacteria to thrive. As long as the lid stays on and the honey stays free of added moisture, honey can be stored in the cupboard indefinitely.

Simple syrup can be preserved for months by adding 1 ounce of sodium benzoate with ¼ ounce of citric acid, per gallon of simple syrup. Each ingredient must be added separately and stirred into the syrup separately and thoroughly.
