Steps
1
Combine: Pour balsamic vinegar and honey into a very small saucepan.
2
Heat: Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
3
Reduce: Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for approximately 8–12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Small quantities can reduce faster!
4
Watch carefully: Once it's reduced by roughly half, start checking the consistency every 30 seconds.
5
Cool: Remove from heat when it lightly coats the back of a spoon. It will thicken considerably as it cools.

Notes
Too thin, runs off the spoon immediately like water: simmer a little longer.
PERFECT! Flows in a thin, glossy ribbon and coats the spoon.
Remove from heat and let cool.
Important: Don't wait until it's thick like honey while it's still hot, or it may become sticky and almost candy-like when cooled!
Too thick after cooling? Stir in a few drops of warm water until it's drizzleable again.
Make ahead: Prepare it 1–3 days before and refrigerate in a covered container.
Safety: Keep the heat gentle and don't lean over the saucepan to smell it—reducing vinegar releases strong, irritating fumes.
