Tip: Make sure to flip your Ghost Pepper Honey upside down and back up a few times in order for the Ghost Pepper Oil to mix thoroughly with the honey before each taste. This will allow for a sweet heat that is hot, but also delicious. If you do not flip your honey jar, all of the Ghost Pepper Oil will be sitting on top of the honey, and your first taste will be a *Spicy* one!

Love this idea and the honey is great. I put it in my cup of green or black tea and it is an awesome sweet and spicy, but not too spicy, addition to my tea. Love it. Love it. Love it.

This is by far my favorite honey. I was on the fence about getting it, worried that it would be too spicy. I had visions of ghost pepper challenges I’ve watched on YouTube. It wasn’t. In fact, I thought it was less spicy than the Smokin’ Hot honey; which I got to use as a base for homemade honey chipotle BBQ sauce.
The ghost pepper honey starts with a delicious sweetness, and finishes with a warm afterglow. Since the ghost pepper has a fruitiness quality (or so I’ve read, I’ve never eaten one, and don’t plan to), I’m sure that it adds depth to the honey itself. It’s not just a mix of honey and heat, but it creates a superbly flavored honey that I can’t put down. It’s beautiful to look at too, with a ghost pepper floating in the bottle.
Just heed the warning … mix it a bit first.
That being said, heat is subjective. If you scream in pain, your eyes water, you claw at your throat, turn red, the veins bulge on your forehead, and you snot yourself after eating a bell pepper, this might not be a good choice of honey for you. But if you can tolerate the heat from a bag of spicy Doritos chips, you’ll do just fine with the ghost pepper honey.
I highly recommend it.
