This homemade triple sec (aka orange liqueur) is made with real orange juice and zest and zero artificial flavorings. It's a non-alcoholic version of triple sec with amazing orange flavor. Use this orange syrup for any cocktail or mocktail.
Add the water, honey and maple syrup to a small pan. Zest the rind of the orange with a grater or microplane and add it to the pan. Then, cut the orange in half and squeeze the juice into the pan. Don't worry about any pulp, you can strain it out later.
Bring to a quick boil, stirring in the honey to mix with the water while the water heats. Once it reaches a boil, turn the heat down so the water is just simmering at a very low boil. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The liquid will reduce and thicken slightly.
Remove from heat and allow the liquid to cool for a few minutes. Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer to remove any orange zest or pulp. Pour into a jar or other airtight container and store in the fridge for up to a month.
