Drop one teaspoon of honey in a bowl of water. If it dissolves quickly, it means that your honey is adulterated. If it doesn't, then you can be sure that it is pure. This is because pure honey doesn't have any additives and and it is viscous where as adulterated honey has other ingredients which makes it dissolve quickly in water.
Also you can find sugar crystals formed on top in adultered honey if stored for long period of time.
