Instructions

  1. Add the honey and chili flakes to a small pot or pan over medium heat.
  2. Gently heat the honey until you see small bubbles forming along the edges of the pan then remove the pan from the heat.
  3. Let the honey infuse for 5 minutes. If you're using the hot sauce or vinegar, stir it into the honey now.
  4. Optional step: strain the honey through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean glass jar.

Notes

  • Adding either a vinegary hot sauce (like Frank's or Tapatio) or apple cider vinegar will add a slight tang and make this taste a lot like Mike's Hot Honey. We like to use hot sauce as it also gives the honey a vibrant red color. 
  • Make sure that you do not let the honey come to a full boil as it will quickly bubble up and boil over the side of your pot. Also, honey will quickly become too thick and sticky if you let it boil for even a short while. 
  • If you choose not to strain the honey, it will continue to get hotter over time.
