Ingredients
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Red chili flakes
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan, combine the minced garlic, white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and salt.
Add the red chili flakes to the saucepan and stir. Heat for another 1-2 minutes until the chili flakes release their aroma, but do not let the vinegar boil vigorously.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the Chili Garlic Vinegar mixture to cool to room temperature.
Transfer the mixture to a clean, sterilized glass jar or bottle with a tightly fitting lid.
Seal the container and refrigerate. Let it sit for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld before using.
Shake well before serving. The vinegar can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
