Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup honey or ½ cup of other sweetener as honey is sweeter
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 Tablespoon minced garlic less if you don't like garlic as much as I do!
  • 1 teaspoon red chile flakes I used smoked from Mountain Rose Herbs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon arrowroot starch if using other sweetener use 1 ½ teaspoons. Alternatively substitute for organic corn starch, but you'll need to use 1 tablespoon, made into a slurry in equal amount water
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha if extra heat desired

Instructions
 

  • Bring honey, vinegar and water to a boil.
  • Add in the garlic, chile flakes, and salt.
  • Turn down the heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  • Add in arrowroot slurry and simmer until thickened. You may need to up it to a boil to get it to thicken properly if your simmer was a lazy one.
  • Cool and enjoy!
