Crafting Your Own Fermented Garlic in Honey
Creating this marvelous elixir is easier than you might think. Just follow these steps:
Prepare the Garlic: Peel enough garlic cloves to fill a small jar about three-quarters of the way. Remember, the fresher the garlic, the more potent its health benefits will be.
Submerge in Honey: Pour raw, organic honey over the garlic cloves until they are completely covered. Make sure there’s enough honey to allow the cloves to expand slightly during fermentation.
Seal and Store: Close the jar tightly with a lid and store it in a cool, dark place like a cupboard or pantry shelf. Let the fermentation process take place naturally.
Patience is Key: Allow the garlic and honey mixture to ferment for at least one month. Once the garlic cloves have softened and the honey has thinned out, you can begin using the elixir.
Essential Safety Tips
While fermenting garlic in honey is generally safe, it’s important to be aware of the potential risk of botulism, which can occur in an oxygen-free environment. To minimize this risk, follow these safety tips:
Always use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
Ensure that the garlic cloves are fully submerged in honey.
