Tasting sweetness in one's mouth while performing salaah

Q: I drank honey water. After about five minutes, I gargled my mouth but I didn't gargle the back portion of my mouth. I read my salaah and while reading, I had a sweet taste at the back of my mouth and I swallowed my saliva. Is my salaah valid?

A: Yes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
