Hot Honey
I’ve experimented quite a bit with infused honeys, including lemon balm, lavender, rose, and basil, and they are DELICIOUS! If you’re not a fan of those earthy, floral flavors but still want to make infused honey, this recipe is for you! I made it recently to glaze fried chicken and couldn’t believe it would taste so divine. I have friends who have used this honey on salmon, cocktails, and even ice cream! I definitely want to try it on ice cream next.
You can also use it medicinally to clear your sinuses during a cold by adding a bit to some hot tea. It’s one of those condiments that allows for super creative uses.
Tip: If using fresh peppers, strain them out at the end to make delicious candied peppers! This is my preferred method if I know I’ll be using the honey within three months.
