In a small saucepan, add the honey, red chili flakes, apple cider vinegar, ground cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and stir the mixture gently as it heats up.
Once the honey starts to loosen and become more fluid, add the unsalted butter to the saucepan.
Continue to stir until the butter is completely melted and fully incorporated into the honey mixture. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer but do not let it boil. Allow it to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the hot honey cool for about 10 minutes. The flavors will continue to meld as it cools.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar or container to remove the chili flakes, if desired, for a smoother texture.
Store the hot honey in a tightly sealed jar at room temperature for up to 1 month. Give it a quick stir before using if it settles.
Drizzle over your favorite foods for a sweet-and-spicy kick!
