Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper or more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ cup raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon smoked chipotle powder
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, sea salt, cayenne pepper, onion powder, and smoked chipotle powder. Use a whisk to mix these dry ingredients thoroughly. This step ensures even distribution of flavors.
  • Next, pour the raw honey and melted butter into the bowl with the dry mix. Stir well until you have a smooth consistency. The honey should blend effortlessly with the other ingredients.
  • Taste your mixture. If you want more heat, add additional cayenne pepper. If it’s too spicy, balance it out with a touch more honey. Finding the right flavor is essential, so don’t hesitate to adjust.
  • Lastly, stir in the fresh lemon juice. This adds brightness and balances the sauce nicely. Make sure everything is well combined.
  • You can serve it warm with your favorite dishes right away, or let it cool and store it in the fridge for later use. It’s that easy!
