Tips and Tricks

Adjust the spice by adding more or less cayenne pepper.
Adjust the tang by changing the ratio of yellow mustard and dijon mustard. Use more yellow for more tang, or more dijon for less. Use a total of 2 tbsp.
If you like a lighter mustard flavor or slightly thicker sauce, add a little more mayo.
Use a whisk to stir it to help the honey incorporate.
