Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl or glass measuring cup, mix together honey and crushed red chile pepper flakes.
Cooking
  1. Microwave the mixture at HIGH for 30 seconds or just until the honey is warm and thins out.
  2. Let the mixture stand for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serving
  1. Strain the chile pepper flakes through a fine metal sieve or mesh strainer.
  2. Transfer the strained hot honey to an air-tight container and store at room temperature for about 2 months.

Notes

Use raw honey for added depth of flavor. Adjust the amount of chile flakes based on your heat preference. Store in a dark, cool place to maintain freshness.
