Whisk until everything is combined.1 cup honey, 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, Pinch of salt, 1-2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
- Let the pepper flakes marinade in the honey for at least 5 minutes or up to 10 before straining. You can also serve as is with the flakes still in the honey for an even spicier kick.
- If straining, place a fine mesh strainer over a glass jar and pour the hot honey into it. You want to make sure the honey is still nice and warm so it goes through the strainer easily.
