Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 1 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, optional
Instructions
- Add the honey and chili flakes to a small pot. Heat together over medium heat. When small bubbles barely start to form along the edge of the pot then remove the pot from the heat. Be careful not to boil the honey because it will become too sticky.
- Let the honey mixture rest in the pot to infuse the flavors for 20 minutes. For spicer honey, you can infuse it for longer.
- Strain the honey through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container.
- Stir in the apple cider vinegar to cut the sweetness if you prefer.
- Drizzle hot honey on corn bread, fried chicken, pizza, or anything you desire to have a sweet and spicy kick!
Notes
For spicer honey, stir in additional chili flakes after it is strained.
