Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a small saucepan, combine the honey, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, dried thyme, smoked paprika, and kosher salt. (2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

03

Step
30 mins

Once boiling, immediately remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the honey to cool to room temperature. This will allow the flavors to meld and deepen, creating a more complex and nuanced taste. (30 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Once cooled, transfer the Hot Honey to an airtight container and store at room temperature. It will keep for several weeks, if not longer. (5 minutes)

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.
