Ingredients
1 cup honey
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the honey and red pepper flakes over medium heat.
- Stir occasionally and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Be careful not to let it boil too vigorously.
- Once the sauce has thickened slightly and the red pepper flakes have infused the honey, remove it from the heat.
- Let the sauce cool slightly before using. Strain out the red pepper flakes if a smoother texture is preferred, or leave them in for extra flavor and heat.
- Drizzle over your favorite dishes or store in an airtight container for later use.
Notes
For more heat, add extra red pepper flakes or use a hotter pepper variety like crushed habanero.
If you prefer a milder sauce, reduce the red pepper flakes or omit them entirely.
Infuse the honey with garlic, ginger, or cinnamon for a more complex flavor.
Mix the hot honey with soy sauce or balsamic vinegar for a tangy glaze.
