In a small saucepan, combine the honey, gluten-free soy sauce (tamari), 1/4 cup of water, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the ingredients until well combined.
Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry.
Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency. If using sesame oil, stir it in at this stage for added depth of flavor.
Remove the sauce from heat and allow it to cool slightly before serving or storing.
Use immediately as a glaze, marinade, or dipping sauce, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving if needed.
