🧾 Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh garlic cloves (peeled)
- 1 cup raw honey (preferably organic)
- Optional: ½ tsp chili flakes (for extra kick)
🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Garlic
- Peel all the garlic cloves.
- Lightly crush each clove with the side of a knife (this helps release the beneficial compounds).
2. Fill the Jar
- Place the garlic cloves into a clean, dry glass jar.
- Do not pack too tightly—leave a little space for the honey to flow.
3. Add the Honey
- Pour raw honey over the garlic until fully covered.
- Make sure all cloves are submerged to prevent spoilage.
4. Optional Flavor Boost
- Add chili flakes if you like a spicy version.
5. Seal and Rest
- Close the jar loosely (or burp it daily if tightly sealed).
- Let it sit at room temperature.
⏳ Fermentation Time:
- After 2–3 days, bubbles may appear (this is normal fermentation).
- Best flavor develops after 1–2 weeks.
🥄 How to Use:
- Take 1 spoon daily for immune support
- Add to tea, dressings, or drizzle over food
- Use the garlic cloves in cooking too!
⚠️ Tips:
- Always use clean utensils when scooping
- Store in a cool, dark place
- If it smells off or grows mold (rare if done right), discard
This mix is popular for its natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits, but it’s also just incredibly tasty.
