For a milder heat, use fewer red pepper flakes or remove them altogether after simmering. Experiment with different types of honey to achieve varying flavor profiles. Buckwheat honey will impart a bolder, more robust flavor, while orange blossom honey will offer a delicate, floral sweetness. If you prefer a smoother consistency, strain the Hot Honey through a fine-mesh sieve after cooling to remove the red pepper flakes and thyme.
