Ingredients

• 1 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of honey and 2 tablespoons of red pepper flakes.

Step 2

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the honey is just starting to simmer. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3

Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it cook gently for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.

Step 5

Let the sauce cool to room temperature, allowing the red pepper flakes to infuse further.

Step 6

Strain the hot honey sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container to remove the pepper flakes, if a smoother consistency is preferred.

Step 7

Store the hot honey sauce in a jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.

Step 8

Shake or stir before using, if necessary, as the ingredients may settle over time.
