| Honey | 1/4 cup | Creates a sticky, glossy finish (or use brown sugar for a caramel tone). |
| Vinegar | 2 tbsp | Rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar to balance sweetness with acidity. |
| Garlic | 2 cloves | Minced for aromatic depth. |
| Ginger | 1 tsp | Freshly grated for warmth and subtle spice. |
