Fermented Garlic Honey
Fermented garlic honey is a delicious and powerful way to fight viruses this cold and flu season. With only 2 ingredients, you can make this amazing home remedy today!
Equipment
- 1 Glass mason jar Any size will work, I use a pint jar
- 1 knife
- 1 Cutting board optional
Ingredients
- 3 Bulbs Garlic
- 1 1/2 Cup Raw Honey More or less, depending on how much garlic you use. You will need enough to cover the garlic.
Instructions
- Peel your garlic cloves. You will want to slightly "bruise" the cloves to better activate the allicin and release some of the garlic "juice" for fermentation. Cut any cloves that are exceptionally large if you want.
- Place the garlic cloves in a clean glass jar.
- Pour honey over the garlic until it's completely covered, leaving some space at the top of the jar. Some of the garlic may float to the top, and that's okay.
- Place a lid on the jar, and flip it upside down a couple of times to make sure that the honey has completely covered the garlic cloves.
- Loosen the lid, and store it in a cool, dark place at room temperature. You want to keep the lid loose so that air can escape during the fermentation process.
- Flip the jar upside down once a day (tighten the lid first!) to make sure the garlic is submerged and encourage the fermentation process.
- Allow the honey garlic to ferment about 4-6 weeks for optimal medicinal properties. You can eat the garlic honey at any point during this time though!
Notes
Make sure you don't fill your jar too full. If there isn't enough space at the top of the jar, your honey might overflow!
