Coconut Aminos (Soy Sauce Alternative)

Method

1. If using coconut sugar, dissolve it in the warm water first.
2. Combine the coconut nectar/sugar water, salt, vinegar, and garlic powder in a small saucepan.
3. Simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes until slightly reduced and the salt is fully dissolved.
4. Cool and transfer to a bottle.
5. *Storage:** Refrigerator for up to 1 month.
6. *Note:** True coconut aminos (made from fermented coconut sap) require extended fermentation. This quick version mimics the flavor profile for everyday cooking. For the real thing, look for naturally fermented coconut aminos at health food stores.
