Preparation
Step 1
Have ready a candy thermometer and a greased baking sheet.
Step 2
Pour 2 tablespoons water into a deep medium saucepan. Add the sugar, and then drizzle the honey evenly over the top without stirring. Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture reaches 300°F and is amber colored; do not let it go higher than 310°F. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with the baking soda, and using a small whisk, quickly combine in just four or five strokes, no more. Immediately pour the mixture onto the baking sheet and let it cool for about 20 minutes.
Step 3
Break into shards and store in an airtight container for up to several days.
