Ingredients for Homemade Hot Honey

Honey – Plain regular honey or creamy honey will work in this recipe.

Spice- There are many ways to add spice to hot honey. I use sriracha as I always have it on hand, and there is no need to heat or strain the honey. You you can experiment with other varieties of hot sauce to change the flavor – try Tabasco. While it’s optional, a little bit of apple cider vinegar balances the sweetness.

Variations

This hot honey recipe is simple, but feel free to get creative and make your own version!

• Replace the sriracha with red pepper flakes (if doing this, I would suggest heating the honey and let it simmer for a minute or so to infuse the flavor and then strain the honey).
• Stir in a bit of garlic powder.
