You need to take some viscous sweetness, mix it with two liquids and check what happens.

How to check the naturalness of honey

Take a deep plate, put a couple of spoons of honey in it, add some plain water and vinegar.

If the sweet product is high-quality and natural, then the above additives will do nothing to it. There will be no reactions: no hissing, no color change, no bubbles.

But if you have purchased fake honey, then vinegar will “force” the product to “react”.

The sour additive will cause the sweetness to "fizz" and foam will also begin to appear.

If you see the corresponding reactions, then know: you bought a fake.

But if within 120 seconds after using the vinegar additive no strange processes began, then you can be satisfied: the honey is real.
