How To Make Subway Smoky Honey Mustard |
Gather Your Gear (Ingredients):
- The Mustard Musketeers: ⅓ cup yellow mustard (the classic!), 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard (the fancy one with a kick!)
- The Honeycomb Heist: 2 tablespoons of honey, that golden nectar of the gods
- Smoke and Mirrors: ¼ teaspoon chipotle chili powder (for a smoky whisper), ¼ teaspoon liquid smoke (because subtlety is overrated)
- The Secret Weapon: ¼ teaspoon salt (don't underestimate its power!)
The Ascent (Instructions):

- The Glorious Peak: Transfer your creation to a container worthy of its majesty (or, you know, a clean jar). Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to meld into a harmonious symphony.
