Servings: 72 teaspoons
Calories: 14kcal
Ingredients
- 4-5 habanero peppers roughly chopped (or peppers of your choice)
- 4-5 small dried peppers rough chopped (I used Hawaiian hots, but try dried Thai chiles or chile de arbol)
- 12 ounces honey
Instructions
- Add the peppers and honey to a small pot. Heat and simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes to infuse them with the pepper flavor and heat.
- Remove from heat and let cool.
- Strain the honey through a fine mesh sieve. Toss out the peppers.
- Store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator. Use as needed.
Notes
Seed the peppers if you’d like, though I usually leave them in. They’re strained out anyway.
Hot honey will last 4 weeks refrigerated. Use it as needed.
Heat Factor: Hot.
