Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add the honey to a pan over low to medium heat.
  • Allow it to come to a gentle simmer, then add the red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
  • Simmer on low for at least 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  • OPTIONAL: While still hot, pour the hot honey into a mesh strainer sitting over a heat-safe bowl. Discard red pepper flakes. If you choose to strain the honey, I recommend simmering for longer.
  • Store in a container and let cool to room temperature.

Notes

  • To avoid excess stickiness, lightly spray the measuring tools used for the honey before adding it in, so it slides out more easily!
  • The longer you simmer, the spicier the hot honey will become, especially if you are going to strain it afterwards.
  • If you want a bit more flavor in your hot honey, add a splash of apple cider vinegar into the honey before taking it off the heat. Just about a teaspoon or so.
