Hot Honey

Hot honey delivers an instant pop of flavor, pairs with almost anything, and is ready in 1 minute with only 2 ingredients!
Prep Time1 minute
Servings: 1 cup

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Honey
  • 2-6 tablespoons Hot Sauce, (such as Tabasco, Crystal, or Frank’s Red Hot)
  • 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes, (optional)

Instructions

  • Add honey and 2 tablespoons hot sauce to a medium bowl; whisk until combined. Taste, adding more hot sauce 1 tablespoon at a time, until hot honey reaches your desired level of spice. If using, mix in pepper flakes. Transfer to an air–tight container and store indefinitely at room temperature.

Notes

Mix–ins: Instead of the red pepper flakes you can substitute sesame seeds, everything bagel spice, granulated garlic, slivered candied ginger, or dried herbs.
If you prefer that your hot honey be thicker, you can gently heat the mixture in the microwave or on the stove top until it is steaming or just beginning to bubble. Let cool completely before adding any mixins and using.
