In a small saucepan, combine the sugar-free honey substitute and the water. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the red pepper flakes to the simmering mixture, stirring to ensure the flakes are evenly distributed.
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, carefully monitoring to prevent it from coming to a full boil.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the apple cider vinegar, ensuring that the vinegar is fully incorporated.
Simmer the sauce for another 3 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool for a few minutes.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the red pepper flakes if you desire a smoother texture, or keep them for an extra kick.
Season with a pinch of salt to taste, and mix well.
Transfer the sauce to a glass jar or a bottle with a lid for storage.
Store the Low Carb Hot Honey Sauce in the refrigerator, and shake well before each use.
