Hey! I have no idea. But the amount of nectar that comes from honeysuckle is so small that you would probably need to get buckets worth of honeysuckle to make any sugar.

+Chicken Permission honeysuckle comes in two varieties: the bush and the vine. The vine has WAY MORE NECTAR and is preferred for making stuff with, but I made this with the bush honeysuckle. I have been doing it for years and it works well. Did you take all the green off? If any leaves get in it can make it bitter. It should just be the yellow and white honeysuckle flowers… Good luck!

+Scott King I’m glad you asked! Honestly, I don’t normally rinse them:) I only did it in the video because it’s the “right way to do it because it gets any bugs out, etc. but I do not normally rinse them because he’s, it does since out some of the nectar but it still has a great honeysuckle nectar taste:) if you are okay with the possibility of a bug being in there then don’t rinse. It’s getting strained out anyway so to me no big deal, but some people really don’t like the thought of bugs being in there. I hope this helps!

My gut tells me that it would work but not as well because when the flowers are dehydrated I feel like they would lose a lot of nectar… It’s honestly so easy to make that I would just try making it while the honeysuckle is ready:) And if you do dehydrate them let me know how that turns out because I’m very curious !
