what is the difference between honey and syrups or just thickened sugar water?
In: 2
A piece that’s missing from the other comments is that there’s more than one kind of sugar. When we make sugar + water, regardless of water content, it’s pure sucrose.
Honey, maple syrup, corn syrup, etc. are all mixtures of various sugars (sucrose, glucose, fructose, etc.). So, in addition to any flavor molcules and other things, the actual chemical composition is different, so the properties & taste are also different.
