Servings: 12 servings
Calories: 61kcal
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup honey
- ⅔ cup water
- 1 TBSP rice vinegar
- 1 TBSP lemon juice
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 clove garlic (finely minced (or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust based on your spice preference)
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 TBSP Coconut Aminos (optional but adds good flavor)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, add all of the ingredients. Whisk everything together to ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved before heating.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the sauce to a gentle boil. Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. This will help the sauce thicken and the flavors to meld together.
- After 5 minutes, remove the sauce from the heat. Let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes to thicken further. You’ll notice it becoming glossy and smooth as it cools.
- Once the sauce has cooled to room temperature, pour it into a clean jar or bottle. Seal tightly and store it in the refrigerator. This sauce will stay fresh for up to 3 weeks.
Notes
- Keep tightly sealed in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. Stir before each use.
