Ingredients
- Honey: I've used raw, unfiltered honey. Feel free to use maple syrup or agave nectar.

- Apple cider vinegar: You can substitute it with Worcestershire sauce or a tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Butter: I used unsalted butter. Adjust the salt if you are using salted butter. You can substitute avocado oil to make this vegan sauce.
- Garlic powder: This is a flavor booster. It can also be substituted for minced garlic.
