Ingredients
- 1 cup (340 g) honey
- 2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- To a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add honey and crushed red pepper flakes. Heat, stirring often, until small bubbles form along the edges of the pan. (Do not let the honey come to a full boil.)
- As soon as small bubbles are forming, turn off the heat, letting the honey infuse for another 5-10 minutes. Then stir in the vinegar.
- Optional: To lessen the spice, strain out some or all of the red pepper flakes through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth before storing it.
- Carefully pour the hot honey into a glass jar. Store in the refrigerator. (Honey will continue to intensify in flavor as it is stored.*)

Notes
*If the honey has been stored for a while, the heat from the red pepper flakes may intensify. If the honey gets too spicy, strain out some or all of the flakes through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to reduce the overall spiciness while still retaining flavor.
