- Adjust the heat level: If you find the hot honey too spicy, add some more honey. If the hot honey is mild, add more chili flakes or hot sauce to increase the heat level.
- Use low heat: To ensure the honey retains its flavor and benefits, use low heat when warming the honey and remove it from the heat just as it comes to a simmer. Avoid using the microwave.
- Storage: Keep your hot honey in a sealed container or honey jar at room temperature for up to 3 months.
- Season: A pinch of salt can enhance the flavor of the hot honey, especially for savory applications.
