I ordered a “hot” sourdough chocolate chip cookie. The restaurant did not understand so they drizzled it with their hot honey. It was the absolute best cookie I ever had!

In reply to Liz Streithorst. I'm just curious, what's the purpose of the vinegar? Does it change the flavor?

In reply to Vincent Clarke. When you simmer honey...it basically destroys it for shelf life. Infused honey lasts forever.

I love this but the batch I made isn’t quite hot enough now
that it’s sat for a couple of days. Can I reheat it and start again ? Or do I need to make a fresh batch.

Super easy to make and delicious! I used red pepper flakes and let them soak for more like 20-30 minutes! Thank you!!

In reply to June. I say heat the honey and enjoy it. You can easily get antioxidants and more from the rest of your diet, including the raw honey I’m sure you enjoy on other things that you wouldn’t use hot honey for.

You mention if you add vinegar or fresh peppers you need to store it in the refrigerator. I agree (I’m a beekeeper). The reason is that the bees cap the honey in the hive when it is less than 18% moisture and so it ends up being hydroscopic (attracts water). Honey over this moisture content has the ability to ferment and should be used in a timely manner. Vinegar adds water but is also acidic. Honey typically has a pH of under 4 and is also acidic but it is offset by the sweetness. I use dried or cayenne pepper to avoid this moisture content issue to whatever heat I seek…

In reply to Betty. Skipped the red chilli flakes and went balls to the wall with dried Carolina Reapers. Nuked myself in the process and my face melted off ....but sooooo good!

This is quite good. Very fast and easy to make. It tastes good before adding the apple cider vinegar, but the vinegar really does take it up a notch! Thanks for sharing.
