Mānuka Hot Honey

April, 2026

We are so excited to introduce the latest addition to our award-winning squeezable range of organic honey, Mānuka Hot honey with cayenne pepper.

Mānuka honey is one of the world’s most famous honeys. Renowned for its superior antioxidant and healing properties.

We infused our organic Mānuka honey with a kick of premium cayenne pepper extract and organic apple cider vinegar. A combination that offers a velvety floral profile with a slow-burning flavour experience. 

What it’s good for

  • Immune support — warming cayenne and raw Manuka help soothe the throat and support winter wellness.
  • Energy boost — a natural pick‑me‑up thanks to Manuka’s rich sugars and cayenne’s gentle heat.
  • Digestive comfort — apple cider vinegar adds a light tang that pairs well with warm drinks and tonics.
  • Cooking and glazing — perfect for adding sweet heat to meats, veggies and marinades.
  • Daily functional use — great for people who want flavour plus a natural wellness kick.

How to use it

  • Stir a spoon into hot water, tea or lemon tonics for a warming drink.
  • Drizzle over roasted chicken, ribs, salmon or vegetables.
  • Add to pizza, wraps or burgers for a spicy-sweet finish.
  • Mix into dressings, marinades or dipping sauces.
  • Take straight from the spoon when you want a quick heat-and-honey hit.

What it goes best with

  • Americano or long black coffee — creates a spicy, aromatic twist.
  • Roast chicken, pork belly, lamb ribs — caramelises beautifully.
  • Pizza, grilled halloumi, roasted kumara — adds depth and contrast.
  • Ice cream or yoghurt — sweet heat that surprises people.
  • Warm drinks — lemon, ginger, herbal teas, winter tonics.

Our organic fusion range is hugely popular with delicious, healthy honey blend options with ginger, turmeric, lavender, lavender squeezable and even cacao.
