Fermented Garlic Honey
Boost your immunity the natural way with this fermented garlic honey recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw honey
- 6-8 cloves Garlic (peeled)
Instructions
- Sterilize mason glass jar and lid by dipping it into boiling water for 10 seconds
- Use a clean towel to dry the jar and lid completely
- Peel the garlic cloves and crush them slightly to release their juices. You can also slice the cloves if you prefer.
- Begin by placing a layer of garlic cloves at the bottom of the glass jar.
- Pour enough honey to cover the garlic cloves. Ensure the honey completely submerges the garlic.
- Add another layer of garlic on top of the honey.
- Close the jar with a tight-fitting lid.
- Leave the jar at room temperature for about 3-4 weeks, ensuring that the garlic remains submerged in honey. During this time, the honey will become infused with the garlic's flavor and health properties. You'll know it's ready when the honey becomes noticeably thinner in consistency.
- You'll need to burp the jar every day or two to allow the fermentation gasses to escape. Simply open and close the lid to burp it.
- After fermentation, store your fermented garlic honey in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard.
