Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppers

    Wash and chop the fresh hot peppers into small pieces. Remove the seeds if you prefer a milder drizzle.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, combine the chopped hot peppers, honey, and red pepper flakes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Mixture

    Place the saucepan over low heat and stir continuously until the mixture is well combined and heated through, about 5 minutes. Do not let it boil.

  2. 4

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, add lemon juice and salt to taste, stirring to incorporate. This will enhance the flavor profile.

Cooling and Storing

  1. 5

    Cool the Drizzle

    Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the spicy honey drizzle to cool completely. It will thicken as it cools.

  2. 6

    Store the Drizzle

    Transfer the cooled drizzle into a clean jar or container. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
