Hot honey is honey infused with red pepper flakes and is the perfect blend of spicy & sweet!
Stir together honey and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Heat to just a simmer, stirring occasionally. Make sure it doesn’t boil at all.
Remove honey mixture from heat and stir in vinegar. Cool.
You can leave in the red pepper flakes or strain them out. Leaving the red pepper flakes in will make the honey spicier over time.
*the apple cider vinegar is not necessary, it adds a bit of tanginess to the honey. You could do a couple of dashes of hot sauce instead of (or in addition to) the vinegar.
