Thanks for the question. Sugar is already present in honey. Its three main components are glucose, sucrose and fructose. One tablespoon of honey contains 16.3 grams of sugar, although it is completely simple sugar. Mixing sugar separately is done only when adulterated honey is made. That's why if you want to know if sugar has been added to honey, you have to know whether the honey is adulterated or not. There are several home remedies for this. [1]

First of all, honey will never have a bitter smell. The pure sweet smell will be sweet and attractive. The taste will also be sweet, it will not have any bitter feeling.
Take some water in a bowl, add a teaspoon of honey in it. If honey mixes easily with water, then you must understand that it must be fake. The concentration of real honey is much higher than that of water, so it will not mix easily.
Take a piece of blotting paper, put a few drops of honey in it. If the paper absorbs it completely, you will understand that honey is not pure.
Spread honey on a piece of white cloth, leave it for half an hour and wash it off with water. If the stain remains, he adulterates the honey.
Pure honey binds in winter days or in cold weather.
However, if left at home for some time, sugar can accumulate in the honey. If you keep the honey with the jar in hot water for a while, the sugar will dissolve and the honey will come back to normal. However, if you realize that the honey is fake, then you should know that sugar has been added to it separately with water to maintain the balance of taste.
