Pour the honey into a small saucepan over medium-low heat
Watch the honey closely until tiny bubbles begin to form around the edges

Maintain a low simmer for approximately five minutes to allow the flavors to infuse
Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately
Stir in the apple cider vinegar and a pinch of sea salt
Decide whether to keep the pepper flakes for a rustic look or strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve for a smooth sauce
Transfer the hot honey into a clean, sterilized glass jar
Allow the honey to cool completely on the counter before sealing with a lid
