Homemade syrups are a delicious way to flavor drinks, desserts, and breakfasts—without white sugar or artificial additives. These easy wellness syrups use honey, maple syrup, dates, and fruit for natural sweetness.
🔔 Note: If using honey in any recipe, always add it after boiling, once the mixture has cooled slightly to warm. Boiling honey can reduce nutrients and change flavor.
