How to Make Hot Honey

Start with 500 g of honey.

Use 100 g of dried pepper flakes for extraction.

Add 100 to 120 ml of vodka to the dried pepper flakes in a percolator.

Allow the vodka to extract the flavors from the pepper flakes, resulting in about 100 ml of extract.

In a pot, heat the honey gently for about 20-30 seconds until it's hot but not boiling.

Add the hot pepper extract to the honey, starting with 2 ml.

Stir the honey and extract mixture thoroughly.

Taste the honey to check the heat level.

If more heat is desired, continue to add the extract in increments of 10 drops, stirring and tasting after each addition.

Keep track of how much extract you add to the honey for future reference.
