Method

Preparation of Salted Honey Syrup

  1. 1

    Make Salted Honey Syrup

    In a large pitcher, combine 2 cups of Trepat lime juice and 1 cup of the prepared salted honey syrup. Stir well to mix.

Finishing Touches

    Prepare Bay Leaves

    Using a culinary torch, carefully torch the bay leaves until they are slightly charred. This will enhance their aroma.
