Prepare the syrup by combining water, sugar, honey, and spices in a saucepan.

Heat the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and let the syrup cool down to room temperature.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

Slice the bread into thick pieces and dip each slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it's well-coated.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the coated bread slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the fried torrejas and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Once cool, dip each torreja into the syrup, allowing it to soak for a few seconds.

Arrange the torrejas on a serving plate and drizzle with additional syrup.

Garnish with lime and orange zest before serving.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
