Place the honey in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
1 cup honey
Measure in the red pepper flakes... if you want it really hot add 3-4 tablespoon red pepper flakes!
2 tablespoon (heaping) red pepper flakes
Bring the honey to a light simmer, stirring occasionally.
Once the honey is at a simmer remove from the heat and let steep for 30 minutes to 2 hour. The longer it steeps the hotter the honey will be.
Using a fine mesh sieve set over a bowl strain the red pepper flakes from the honey. Leave the strainer over the bowl for a good 15 minutes to give the honey time to slowly drain from the red pepper flakes.
Transfer the honey to a clean container with a lid and use immediately or store for later use.
Can keep at room temp in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
