This may sound like total common sense, but I am saying because it obviously was not for me in the moment. I make twice that amount at a time and pour it in an empty rum bottle for storage. What you must remember is that this stuff is boiling hot, and it if pours on your hand while you hold the bottle, it will hurt, and, once the bottle fills up, it will get hot.

Yeah, duh, but...

You can do the same with honey. All those recipes that call for boiling honey until it's liquid and adding it. Make honey syrup the same way, one pound honey to one cup water. I am not exactly sure if it's 100% correct, but I then add it to recipes at about double. So if a recipe calls for 1 ounce of honey, I add 1 3/4 ouunces of honey syrup. Does that sound right?
