3. Heat to a Simmer

   Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer—small bubbles should appear around the edges, but do not let it boil.

   Temperature: Medium heat

4. Remove from Heat and Infuse

   Turn off the burner and let the honey‑pepper mixture sit, uncovered, for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

5. Strain the Hot Honey

   Set a mesh strainer over a clean bowl or directly over the mason jar. Slowly pour the infused honey through, allowing the liquid to drain completely. Discard the spent flakes.
