Garlic Honey (Honey with Garlic)
A simple garlic and honey mixture is a traditional natural remedy often used to support immunity, soothe colds, and promote overall wellness. Itβs also delicious and can be used in cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw honey
- 8β12 garlic cloves, peeled
Instructions
- Peel the garlic cloves. Lightly crush them with the side of a knife to release their juices.
- Place the garlic in a clean glass jar.
- Pour the honey over the garlic until it is completely covered.
- Close the jar loosely and let it sit at room temperature for 2β3 days (this allows the garlic to infuse into the honey).
- After that, store it in a cool place or refrigerator.
How to Use
- Eat 1 clove with a spoon of honey daily for immune support.
- Take 1 teaspoon when you feel a cold or sore throat coming on.
- Drizzle the honey over:
- roasted vegetables
- grilled chicken
- toast or cheese
Tips
- Use raw, natural honey for best benefits.
- The mixture can last several months if the garlic stays fully covered in honey.
- Over time the flavor becomes stronger and slightly fermented.
