So because of its high sugar concentration, pure honey will never ferment 1 or go bad. It may crystallize but by soaking the jar in hot water you can turn it back into a liquid. Adding water, however, lowers the concentration of sugar in the honey and turns a natural preservative 2 into an excellent food for yeast 3 and bacteria. You may not want a fermented 4 jar of honey on your shelf, but ancient people turned that characteristic of honey to their advantage in creating what may well have been the very first alcoholic 5 beverage 6. Honey mixed in water and allowed to ferment, produces the drink called “mead 7.” So you may or may not want to add water to your honey. If what you want is mead, go ahead, but if you want your honey to last, . . . keep it pure.
