Preparing the Ingredients

Sautéing the Garlic
Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 1–2 minutes, until golden and fragrant.
Adding the Liquid Ingredients
Add the apple cider vinegar, water, and tomato paste to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Seasoning
Add the cayenne pepper, paprika, honey (or maple syrup), onion powder, salt, black pepper, cumin, and mustard powder. Stir thoroughly so all the spices are well combined.
