Pour the honey into a small saucepan and warm it over medium-low heat. Be cautious not to bring it to a boil; you just want it gently heated.
Add the red chili flakes into the warmed honey, stirring to incorporate them evenly.
Mix in the apple cider vinegar and salt. Continue to stir for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Reduce the heat to low and let the honey mixture simmer gently for about 5 to 7 minutes. This will infuse the honey with the spicy heat of the chili flakes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly.
Once cooled, strain the hot honey into a clean jar or bottle, using a fine mesh sieve to remove the chili flakes. If you prefer to keep the flakes in for a more intense spice, you can skip this step.
Seal the jar and store it at room temperature. Use as a drizzle or dip as desired.
