I lost a fair bit of water simmering the spices (it was around 125g after straining) and added a bit back to get me in the ballpark of 200g. I think using honey and just not bothering to put a bit of water back into the recipe would be better. I have some good butterbean honey laying around, I may make another batch with that.

I was reluctant to deviate too far from the base recipe on my first try because honey is slightly acidic and I wasn't sure how that would affect the syrup in the long run, which may be silly given that it holds up in a drink made with lime juice. When I run out of my first batch I'm going to try it out with honey.
