Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Wash the hot peppers and slice them into thin rounds. Remove seeds if less heat is desired.
In a small saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar and salt dissolve. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the black peppercorns, bay leaves, and dried chili flakes to the simmering liquid. Stir to combine and let simmer for 1 minute to infuse flavors.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the brine to cool slightly (about 3-5 minutes).
Pack the peeled garlic cloves and sliced hot peppers into a clean, sterilized jar, leaving about half an inch of space at the top.
Carefully pour the warm brine over the garlic and peppers in the jar, ensuring all the ingredients are fully submerged. Use a clean spoon to press down if needed.
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and let it cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, refrigerate the jar for at least 3-5 days to allow the flavors to develop. The pickled garlic can be stored for up to 1 month in the refrigerator.
