Ever wondered how to make hot honey? This easy hot honey recipe requires just 3 simple ingredients and 10 minutes for the most amazing sauce drizzled on everything from pizza to wings to whatever your heart desires!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup honey
  • 12 tbsp crushed red chili flakes
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan add your honey and red pepper flakes over medium heat until it begins to simmer. This will only take a few minutes.
  2. Remove pan from heat and allow your red pepper flakes to sit in the honey for 10 minutes.
  3. If desired you can strain your hot honey through a fine-mesh sieve but this is not essential.
  4. Try your hot honey and either add more chili flakes or dilute with more honey. Note that if you leave your chili flakes in your honey it will get spicier over time so err on the side of caution when adding chili flakes.
  5. Stir in apple cider vinegar.
  6. Store your hot honey in a mason jar or desired container at room temperature.
