Hot Agave Syrup

Did you know you can use agave just like you use honey? I love hot honey but when I swap in agave instead it’s lower on the glycemic index and the price per ounce is less expensive, so it’s a win win! Use this in cocktails, drizzle on your avocado toast, mix it with Buffalo sauce and toss it with chicken tenders. You name it!

Here's what you'll need:

• 1 cup agave

• 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper

• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• Pinch of salt

• 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed orange juice

Directions:

1. In a small sauce pan combine agave, red pepper flakes, cayenne and salt pinch on low heat

2. Bring to a simmer while stirring often

3. Simmer for 5 minutes then remove from heat

4. Let sit in sauce pan (off of heat) for 10 minutes

5. Squeeze in orange juice

6. Transfer to a mason jar

7. Store in fridge, lasts for about a month but you’ll probably use it before then!

If it’s not spicy enough for you add a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce !!
