I hate to tell that this is probably very tasty but all honey health benefits lost during heating process also there is some unhealthy stuff created in honey during heat up.

Is there any particular reason that hot pepper flakes are used than, say, fresh peppers? It seems to me that you might get a better flavour that way.

[edit] About Hot Pepper Honey
