Place the honey, chili flakes and diced garlic into a small pot.
Put on a high heat and bring to a simmer.
Once it starts to bubble, take it off of the heat and stir in the rice wine vinegar.
Let cool before transferring to a mason jar.

Don't take your eyes off of the honey when you are heating it. Once it hits a simmer, if you leave it, it will boil over very quickly. Take it off of the heat as soon as it reaches a simmer.
If you don't like things too spicy, make the hot honey up with half a tablespoon of chili flakes first. Once it cools, taste some and if you want it hotter you can reheat it and add some more.
Let the honey cool before transferring to your jar.
Working with honey can be a sticky business! Rub your measuring cup or jug with a little oil before you measure out the honey. The oil will stop it from sticking to the surface of the cup.
