Make sure to use a dry, clean, sterilized jar or bottle to store the hot honey. Avoid introducing any moisture into the honey, as this can cause it to spoil.
Toasting the dried peppers first helps to enhance their flavor and aroma. It also helps to bring out the oils in the peppers, which will infuse better into the honey.
