Notes
- Watch the honey closely while heating. It can foam up and boil over quickly. Remove from heat at the first sign of bubbles.
- Tie the thyme sprigs together with kitchen twine (bouquet garni) for clean, easy removal.
- Leave the red pepper flakes in the jar for a classic look, or strain through a fine mesh sieve for clear honey.
- Store in a sealed glass jar at room temperature for up to 3 months. Do not refrigerate.
