- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha (or to taste)

Stir in the honey, minced garlic, sriracha, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and ground ginger. Mix thoroughly to incorporate the spices.
Gradually add the water, stirring constantly to achieve your desired sauce consistency.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Allow the sauce to cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the flavors meld together and the texture is smooth.
