Description
Fermented Garlic Honey is a natural, immune-boosting remedy combining fresh garlic and raw honey through fermentation.
Ingredients
- Fresh Garlic Cloves – 10 to 15 cloves
- Raw Honey – enough to fully submerge the garlic (about 1 cup)
- Lemon Juice – 1 to 2 teaspoons (optional)
- Cinnamon Stick or Fresh Ginger Slices – 1 stick or a few slices (optional for spiced version)
- Fresh Herbs (Thyme, Rosemary) – a small sprig (optional for herbal infusion)
- Orange Zest or Slices – 1 teaspoon or a few slices (optional for citrus boost)
Instructions
- Peel fresh garlic cloves and lightly crush or chop them to release their natural oils and allicin.
- Place the prepared garlic cloves into a clean glass jar. Pour raw honey over the garlic until all cloves are fully submerged.
- Loosely seal the jar to allow gases to escape during fermentation. Leave the jar at room temperature for 3 to 7 days.
- After fermentation, tighten the lid and transfer the jar to a cool, dark place or refrigerate it. Allow it to sit for 2 to 3 weeks or longer before using.
Notes
- Store in a cool, dark place for best flavor.
- Use within a few months for optimal health benefits.
