Method #1
Buy honey from the store nearby and get ready for the test. One tablespoon of honey would do.

Adulterated honey may move and fall from the spoon quite fast as it contains more water. Pure honey is thicker and takes more time to move as a fluid.
Method #4
Get a matchbox and light one stick. Pure honey is supposed to burn when you light it. Adulterated honey contains lots of water which puts off the fire.
