What it is
Mike's Hot Honey is a sweet and spicy condiment made by infusing honey with chili peppers. It combines the natural sweetness of honey with a noticeable kick of heat.

It is a versatile ingredient for those who enjoy a sweet and savory combination.
How people cook with it

Mike's Hot Honey is primarily used as a finishing drizzle. It can be applied directly from the bottle onto finished dishes. For glazes, it can be incorporated into marinades or sauces that are then cooked. When used in dressings, it's typically whisked in with other liquid ingredients. It's also a delightful addition to baked goods or breakfast items, adding a surprising layer of flavor. Experimentation is encouraged to discover your favorite applications.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain honey, Mike's Hot Honey introduces a spicy element that creates a sweet-and-spicy contrast. Regular honey is purely sweet, while this product offers a dual flavor experience. It's also distinct from hot sauces, which are typically vinegar-based and offer a more acidic heat.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, store Mike's Hot Honey in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use. If crystallization occurs, which is natural for honey, gently warm the bottle in warm water to return it to its liquid state.
