Depends on how much smoke/peat flavor you want. I'd start with 4 oz & go from there. If it's not smoky enough, you can always add more. You could simply steep the smoked malt in the water then add the honey to the hot water & mix well. You'll have to taste the wort to see if it's smoky enough. Steep at 158*F for 30 min - 1 hr.

Interested in seeing how this turns out.
Just want to clarify the instructions, since it seems like the OP might only have experience with mead, not beer brewing.
- Measure and crush grain. LHBS could crush it for you, if you don't have a mill. For this purpose, you could probably also use a food processor for this small amount, since you're just steeping it.
- Place grains in steeping bag (muslin sack, large strainer bag, etc). If you don't have a bag to steep in, you could add crushed grain directly to water, then run the water through a mesh strainer to filter out the grain.
- Steep grain in hot water as specified above (158F for 30 min-1 hr). Exact temperature is not super critical here.
- Mix your honey into the hot water
- Proceed with other additions (nutrients, yeast, etc) as normal
