I am trying to replace the ingredients of mead from sugar cane to honey

I have tried to change the recipe to:

mead:
name: Awkward Mead/Mead/&6Golden Mead
ingredients:
- honey_bottle/3
cookingtime: 3
distillruns: 0
wood: 2
age: 4
color: ORANGE
difficulty: 2
lore:
- +++ Has a golden shine
alcohol: 9

however the cauldron won't accept honey bottles, I tried honey blocks and it also didnt work.
I then added honey bottles to custom items which also didnt work, and I added it to ingredients and it still wont accept neither honey bottles nor honey blocks

Custom item attempt:

honey:
matchAny: true
material:
- honey_block
- honey_bottle
name:
- 'Honey Block'
- 'Honey Bottle'

Ingredient attempt:

honey:
name: Fermented Honey
ingredients: honey_bottle
color: 'ffff33' # bright yellow

When I reload the plugin it doesn't show any error and I have tested my code on YAML parser with no issues
