How does this hot honey sauce taste like?

This hot honey sauce tastes luscious with the honey's natural sweetness. Along with the roasted peppers flavor and with mild heat. 

The heat will not irritate the tongue but still the palate could quite feel it. However,  this rare combination makes it more interesting and worth trying.

How to make a delicious hot honey sauce.

• This recipe is highly adoptable and does not restrict with a specific type of ingredient.
• This hot honey drizzle can be done over stove top or in the microwave oven.
• Allow the honey to slightly warm up at a low temperature. Heating too much beyond 98°F causes the honey to lose important components.
• The microwave is a quick option to make this hot honey sauce, but I would highly recommend using the stovetop method as it is more reliable and has more control over the heat when handling the honey.
• If you prefer, you may strain the red pepper flakes when the honey is still warm. And later store them in an airtight container.

The ingredients needed

Honey. The base ingredient. The regular honey that normally you use in your kitchen works perfectly. However, you may also use organic honey, or manuka honey which also works great. 

For vegan choice, you may try maple syrup or agave nectar(though I have not tried this vegan option, but theoretically it should work well). If you have tried this vegan way, let’s know your feedback through your valuable comments. 

Red chili flakes. The only ingredients to spice up the sauce. I have used roasted red pepper flakes, for its intense flavors and its depth of heat.

How to make the hot honey sauce

Add the honey to the glass mixing bowl and add the red pepper flakes. And set aside.

Fill a saucepan with water halfway through. Bring it to a rolling boil and place the glass bowl over it. Make sure the bottom of the glass bowl does not touch the level of water.

And now place the glass bowl filled with honey. Allow the honey to heat using the steam from the saucepan.

Stir continuously with a spatula for about 1-2 minutes or until the honey’s texture thins down slightly. This double-boil warming procedure allows the honey to infuse with a rich peppery flavor.

Remove from the heat and allow the honey to cool down to room temperature.

Transfer it to an airtight glass container and ENJOY!!

Best to serve with

This hot honey sauce could literally work like a charm wherever and the regular honey is used.

Bread Toast. Think of drizzling over the breakfast toast like this spicy French toast, spicy avocado toast.

Salad. Drizzle over your choice of salad like spicy kale salad, greek yogurt cucumber salad and make them more delectable. 

Fruits and veggies. Grilled veggies or roasted vegetables, a tablespoon of hot drizzle sauce do wonders.

In the sauce. Mix it along with other premade sauces like sriracha sauce, hot sauce and give it an instant face lift.

Cereal and drink. Stir-in your breakfast cereal or drink like this coconut milk chia pudding. And enjoy!

How to store?

Room temperature. Though the honey has antibacterial factors that makes it store for months in the room temperature. 

Practically, I would highly recommend using hot honey sauce within 3 to 4 weeks to avoid any human errors or contaminations. 

Refrigerator. You may also store in the refrigerator to use upto four to five weeks.

Tools required

Saucepan. You can use it for double boiling like this hot honey sauce recipe.
Glass jar. A good quality air tight jar is ideal for any dish including this drizzle.
