1 cup granulated sugar Substitute with brown sugar for a richer flavor.
½ cup water Provides the liquid base necessary to dissolve the sugars.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Dutch Honey Syrup

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar, ½ cup of water, and ½ cup of light corn syrup. Place over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved (3-5 minutes).
Increase heat slightly to bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow it to bubble for 5 minutes without stirring.
Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Add fresh herbs if desired.
Let the syrup cool for 10-15 minutes until it reaches room temperature, then pour into a clean jar or bottle.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, and gently shake or stir before use.
