  • 2 tablespoons honey

How to Make Milo’s Sauce Recipe?

Step 1:

Find a small saucepan, which is a special pot for making sauces and heating liquids. It’s usually smaller than regular pots.

Step 2:

Put the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic powder, and onion powder into the saucepan. Don’t worry if you’re not sure about the measurements, just use a cup for the ketchup, and a spoon for the rest.

Step 3:

Turn on the stove to medium heat, which is like a middle setting. Let the saucepan sit on the stove and start heating up. Every now and then, give the sauce a gentle stir with a spoon.

Step 4:

As the sauce gets warmer, you’ll start to see little bubbles forming on the surface. That’s a sign that it’s cooking! Keep an eye on it and keep stirring occasionally.

Step 5:

Once it starts bubbling, you’ll want to turn the heat down to low. This helps the sauce cook gently without burning. Let it simmer, which means to cook gently with small bubbles, for about 10-15 minutes. Stir it every so often to make sure it’s not sticking to the pan.

Step 6:

As it cooks, you’ll notice the sauce getting thicker and richer. That’s exactly what you want! It means all the flavors are coming together nicely.

Step 7:

When the sauce is done cooking, you can add a little bit of salt and pepper to make it taste even better. Just a pinch of each should do the trick, and taste it to make sure it is suitable for you, if not add more salt and pepper.

Step 8:

Once you’ve seasoned the sauce, turn off the heat and let it cool down for a bit. It’ll still be hot, so be careful! Letting it cool helps the flavors settle and makes it safer to eat.
