- In a small pot, add 2 tbsp. honey. Add 6 tbsp. alcohol and put the pot on the stove for 10 minutes. If you notice white sediment on the bottom of the pot that means the honey is fake.
- In a glass put 1 tbsp. honey and 1 tbsp. distilled water. Mix well and add a few drops of iodine. If the mixture turns blue, then the honey is fake.
