Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together ½ tablespoon of flour and ½ tablespoon of water. Set aside.
  • Place a pot over a medium heat, add the orange juice, honey, apple cider vinegar, tamari, salt and all the dried spices. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then lower the heat and add the flour and water mixture. Whisk until the mixture begins to thicken. Once the mixture is thick, remove the pot from the heat.
