Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

2 thin cucumber slices, for garnish (optional)
2 small fresh basil or mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Combine the honey and water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until the honey fully dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the basil and mint leaves, and stir to submerge them.
