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
- Prep the Garlic:
- Peel the garlic cloves and lightly crush them with the flat side of a knife. This releases the beneficial allicin.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
