½ cup chili flakes

½ cup oil (neutral oil or chili oil)

¼ cup vinegar

Pour the mixture over the garlic until fully submerged.

Seal the jar and gently shake to combine.

Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving for maximum flavor.

Always keep refrigerated and use a clean spoon to extend shelf life.
