Ingredients
- 1 cup honey
- 2-3 tablespoons red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional for tanginess)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine the honey and red chili flakes. If using, add the apple cider vinegar for extra flavor.
- Heat Mixture: Warm the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through and the chili flakes are infused into the honey (about 5-10 minutes). Do not boil.
- Cool and Store: Remove from heat and let it cool. Pour the hot honey into a small glass jar and let it sit for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
