Servings: 24
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups honey
- 2 Tbsp dried chili flakes or 4 large fresh chili peppers
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- If using fresh chilies, slice them thinly.
- Add the honey and chili to a small saucepan, stir, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat.
- Let the honey infuse with the chili for 10-15 minutes—then taste with a clean spoon. For more heat, add extra peppers or let it infuse longer. To reduce the spice, stir in plain honey to mellow it out.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a clean jar. Add the vinegar and stir to combine.The hot honey is now ready to enjoy!

Notes
To store: Hot honey made with dried peppers or flakes can be kept in a cool, dark cupboard or pantry for up to 3 months.
If you use fresh chilies, store the honey in the fridge and aim to use it within 1-2 weeks. If the honey has crystallized, microwave the jar or place it in a bowl with warm water, and the honey will become liquid again.
