hot honey

Peppered bee nectar

Hot honey is honey infused with chili peppers, creating a sweet-and-spicy condiment.

It's drizzled on pizza, fried chicken, biscuits, and cheese boards—anywhere the combination of heat and sweetness adds complexity: The hot honey on that pepperoni pizza was incredible.

The product gained mainstream popularity in the 2010s through restaurant and retail channels.
