We’re sure you get your use out of hot sauce, ketchup, and soy sauce, but have you heard of hot honey? Hot honey is a combination of honey and chile spices that gives a sweet-spicy kick to foods. The spice level and type of chile peppers used depends on the brand and your heat tolerance, but it’s usually not super overpowering. If you like spicy foods, you have to give it a try!
The most popular hot honey brand is Mike’s Hot Honey and thanks to its popularity, hot honey can be found next to traditional honey at supermarkets or you can get it from Amazon. Just be aware that hot honey is flying off shelves and selling just as quickly online. And if you want to make your own at home, just stir a half of a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes into two tablespoons of honey.
So what can you use hot honey for? There are tons of dishes that taste amazing with a drizzle of hot honey like pizza, pasta, fried chicken, or roasted veggies. Or you can even go the sweet route by adding it to your favorite cookie recipe or stirring some into your tea or coffee. Basically anything that would taste good with a touch of honey will taste amazing with hot honey.
