Ingredients
- ½ cup raw honey
- 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon white wine vinegar or vinegar of choice optional
Instructions
- Add the honey and crushed red pepper flakes to a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat until the honey mixture comes to a light simmer. Stir and remove the pan from the heat.
- Allow the chili flakes to infuse into the honey for 10-12 minutes. Taste the honey with a clean spoon then adjust the spice level as needed. For a spicier flavor, let the chili flakes infuse 5-10 minutes longer. To make it less spicy, add in more honey.
- Stir in the vinegar (if using) then pour the honey through a fine mesh strainer into a clean jar. Let cool to room temperature before putting the lid on.
