Notes
Storage: Crystallization is a natural occurrence in all honey and thus, hot honey too, although less likely because we've added a small amount liquid (vinegar). If yours develops crystals, simply heat it up for a few seconds in the microwave and stir until crystals dissolve.
Freezing: Honey doesn't freeze well. It does, however, make a great gift. Package it in a small glass jar, give it a pretty little bow and give it to your friends. Everyone loves a little hot honey drizzle.
