Learn how to make hot honey with our simple recipe! This hot honey is perfect to add to all your favorite recipes – from drinks, to appetizers, to desserts and more.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add honey and crushed red pepper, stirring to combine.
Stir continuously as directed, and when small bubbles begin to form, remove from heat.
Fold in fennel and oregano.
Let the honey rest for approximately five minutes to infuse before serving, or transferring to a jar for storage.
Notes
Note that we chose not to strain our hot honey, because we love the way it looks with the herbs and seasonings inside. However, that means it will get hotter over time, with storage.
To strain, simply pour your hot honey over a fine mesh strainer to trap the larger pieces of fennel seeds and pepper flakes.
