How to Make Hot Honey
Homemade hot honey is so easy to make with just 3 ingredients. This sweet and spicy "sauce" is great on a charcuterie board, drizzled on pizza, fried chicken, or anything your heart desires!
Ingredients
- 1 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Instructions
- In a saucepan on low heat, bring honey, red pepper flakes, and rice vinegar to a simmer for 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let the honey infuse for 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight glass jar.
Notes
- You can strain the chili flakes through a fine mesh sieve if desired. The honey will get spicier over time if you leave them in.
- Apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, or regular vinegar can be substituted.
- Heat can reduce the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant levels of honey. If you are concerned about maintaining the health benefits of the honey, try the slow infusion method. Mix honey and red pepper flakes in a sealed jar and let it sit for at least one week, stirring occasionally. The longer it sits the spicier it will be.
