Step 1: Prepare the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and lightly crush each one with the flat side of a knife. Crushing the garlic helps activate allicin, a natural sulfur compound that contributes to garlic’s characteristic aroma and has been studied for its biological activity.
Step 2: Fill the Jar
Place the garlic cloves into a clean, dry glass jar.
Step 3: Add the Honey
Pour the raw honey over the garlic until all the cloves are completely covered.
Step 4: Seal
Close the jar tightly.
Let it sit at room temperature for 3 to 7 days, turning the jar gently once each day.
The honey will gradually become thinner as it absorbs moisture from the garlic.
Step 5: Store
After infusing, store the jar in a cool, dry place.
Use a clean spoon each time you serve it.
