Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add honey to the water, using the same ratio you would for your plain bagels. This honey water will be used for boiling the bagels.

Carefully place the shaped bagels into the boiling honey water. Boil each bagel for 30 seconds on one side, then flip it and boil for another 30 seconds on the other side. Remove the boiled bagels with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack to drain slightly.
