Easy Hot Honey Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw organic honey
  • 2 tbsp crushed red chili flakes
  • 1/2-1 tbsp cayenne adjust to spice preference
  • Dash of salt

Instructions

  • In a small pot, add honey, red chili flakes, cayenne, and a dash of kosher salt. Stir to combine.
  • Heat over medium heat, allowing the honey to gently simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  • Do not boil—you just want small bubbles forming around the edges.
  • Remove from heat and let the chili-infused honey sit in the pot for 15-20 minutes to continue infusing.
  • Once cooled slightly, strain the honey using a fine mesh strainer into a glass jar or airtight container. Use a spoon to press out every last drop of spicy goodness.
  • Keep your hot honey in an airtight glass jar (like a mason jar) at room temperature for up to 3 months.

Notes

Storage and Shelf Life

  • Store hot honey in an airtight glass jar at room temperature.
  • It will keep for up to 3 months—no need for refrigeration.
  • If the honey thickens over time, simply warm it slightly in the microwave or in a hot water bath before using.
