Fermented Garlic Honey
This Fermented Garlic Honey recipe is a simple yet potent elixir combining the natural goodness of honey and garlic, while harnessing their amazing health benefits.
Ingredients
- 1 cup garlic cloves, papery skin removed
- 1 cup raw honey
Instructions
- Place peeled cloves in a mason jar. Add the honey (it should be enough to cover all the cloves, and ideally the honey should settle 2 inches above the top garlic cloves).
- Cover tightly with lid and turn upside down to ensure all of the cloves are well-coated in honey.
- Keep in a cool dark place for 3 to 4 weeks to allow for fermentation. During the fermentation process, gasses will be emitted, so it’s important to unscrew the lid and open the jar slightly 1 time per day to release these gasses.
- Then reseal the jar. You don’t have worry about tightly resealing the jar, as a looser fit will allow the gasses to naturally escape as well.
- You can eat a clove a day with some honey as a preventative method or start to eat once you feel a cold coming on and for the duration of your cold. You can also add some of the garlic-infused honey to a cup of soothing tea when you’re feeling under the weather.
- Fermented Garlic Honey can last up to a year if stored in a sealed jar in a cool, dark place (cabinet).
