Ingredients
  

  • 340 g honey
  • 6 g red chilli flakes
  • 10 ml apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Add the honey and chilli flakes to a small saucepan and warm over medium heat until it just begins to gently simmer.
  • Give it a stir, then take it off the heat.
  • Let the honey sit for 10–15 minutes so the warmth can draw out that slow, mellow heat.
  • Taste and adjust: add more chilli or let it infuse a little longer if you like a deeper kick.
  • Strain the honey through a fine sieve into a clean jar, then stir in the apple cider vinegar until smooth and balanced.
  • Use straight away, or store at room temperature for up to three months, ready to drizzle over anything that could use a little sweet heat.
