Stoney says: start low, go slow — the forest isn't going anywhere. Wait 90 minutes before seconds.

Steps

  1. Combine the honey and pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Warm over medium-low only until the surface shows the first lazy bubbles — do not let it boil.
  2. Pull the pan off the burner immediately and let it sit 10–15 minutes so the heat moves into the honey. Taste a cooled drop on a spoon; if you want more bite, add flakes and rest longer.
  3. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean jar or bowl, pressing lightly to get all the honey through.
  4. Let the honey cool to warm-but-not-hot (under about 50 °C / 120 °F — comfortable on the back of your hand). This protects the tincture, which never needs heat.
  5. Off heat, stir in the vinegar and salt, then add the full measured 80 mg of tincture. Stir slowly and thoroughly for a good 60 seconds, scraping the bottom and sides — honey is thick and an uneven stir means uneven servings.
  6. Check the volume: it should sit at 240 ml / 1 cup. If it reads a little short after straining, top up with plain honey and stir again to hold the per-tablespoon math.
  7. Decant into a jar with a wide mouth (skip the squeeze bear — this one is spooned, not drizzled) and keep a measuring spoon with it.
  8. Label the jar: "Infused Hot Honey — 80 mg THC total • 16 servings • 5 mg THC per 1 tbsp • made [date] • 21+ only." Store it where only adults can reach it.
  9. Serving note: one tablespoon on pizza, fried-chicken sandwiches, roasted sprouts or a cheese board. One spoon, then wait — start low, go slow.
