Method

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients and a clean 16‑oz mason jar with a tight‑fitting lid.

  2. 2

    Measure 1 cup of sour cream and add it to the jar.

  3. 3

    Pour ¾ cup of hot honey over the sour cream.

  4. 4

    Add 2 tbsp of garlic chili oil, letting its aroma infuse the mixture.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The garlic chili oil's aroma rises as it meets the sour cream and honey.

  5. 5

    Stir in 4 tbsp of ranch seasoning mix, ensuring it disperses evenly.

  6. 6

    Add the finely chopped fresh dill (4 tbsp) and 2 tsp of red pepper flakes for heat.

  7. 7

    Secure the lid and shake the jar vigorously for 30‑45 seconds, or stir with a spoon until the dip is smooth and uniformly combined.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The dip looks smooth and evenly combined. Shake the lidded jar or stir with a spoon.

  8. 8

    Taste and adjust seasoning if desired (extra dill or pepper flakes can be added at this stage).

  9. 9

    Label the jar, refrigerate, and let the flavors meld for at least 30 minutes before serving; the dip will keep up to 10 days in an airtight container.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Chill before serving so the flavors meld.

  10. 10

    When ready to serve, give the dip a quick stir; serve chilled with chips, veggies, or warm with pretzel bites.
