Maple syrup as a sub for honey mix? - Tiki Drinks and Food

Boil water, add honey, stir, cool. Just watch it because this mix will boil over very easily! Bottle it and it will be fine for a long time. When a recipe calls for honey, just double the amount of this syrup. This is the way the Mai Kai does it. The only issue I have had was mold forming on the liquid after a long time. After keeping it in the fridge, I have had no problems. I'm making a new batch tonight. Beats the crap out of the microwave thing and The Bum uses the syrup now as well. Using maple syrup will have the same problem as straight honey. You may end up with it sticking to your shaker or blender surface instead of mixing well.
