Secrets about Garlic, Cloves, and Honey: I Wish I’d Known Them Sooner!

Ingredients

  • 1 head of garlic (about 10-12 cloves)
  • ½ cup raw honey (preferably organic)
  • 1-2 cloves (the spice, optional for added aroma)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (optional, for extra health benefits)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Garlic:
    • Peel the garlic cloves and lightly crush them with the flat side of a knife. This releases the beneficial allicin.
  2. Layer It Up:
    • Place the garlic cloves into a clean, sterilized jar.
    • Add the cloves (the spice) if using — they bring a warm, slightly sweet aroma that complements the honey.
  3. Pour in the Honey:
    • Slowly pour the honey over the garlic until fully covered.
    • Add apple cider vinegar if you want an extra immune-boosting kick.
  4. Seal and Infuse:
    • Close the jar tightly. Let it sit at room temperature for 3-5 days, gently shaking the jar once a day to mix.
    • The honey will thin out as the garlic releases its juices — that’s when you know it’s ready!
  5. Enjoy the Magic:
    • Take a spoonful daily to support immunity, soothe sore throats, or even drizzle it over roasted veggies, toast, or salad dressings for a savory-sweet twist.

Why This Works:

  • Garlic boosts immunity, supports heart health, and fights off colds.
  • Honey soothes, heals, and has antibacterial properties.
  • Cloves offer anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits.
