Warm the Honey: In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey over low heat. You want it to be warm and fluid, but not boiling.

Add the Heat: Stir in the hot sauce, adjusting the amount based on your preferred level of spiciness. Add the crushed red pepper flakes if you want an extra kick.

Balance the Flavors: Stir in the apple cider vinegar and a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and heat.

Let It Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer for a minute or two, just to meld the flavors together. Be careful not to overheat, as the honey can scorch easily.

Cool and Store: Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before transferring to a jar or squeeze bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to a month.
