ingredients
- 4 cups rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1⁄2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon whole white peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon coriander seed
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1⁄2 teaspoon toasted cumin seed
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped dill
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro leaves

directions
- Combine the vinegar, honey, pepper flakes, coriander, mustard seeds, fennel seeds, cumin and salt in a medium, non-reactive saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Let boil for 2 minutes; remove from the heat and let sit until cooled to room temperature. Add the dill and cilantro.

(leaving them longer just makes them hotter but still delicious.) Cooking time includes refrigeration.
