People have been using Garlic on its own to treat illnesses and boost immunity. Even ancient civilizations used to use it. In fact, it was rumored that fermented honey garlic was found in Pharaoh’s tomb and was still good!
If this isn’t reason enough to keep this stuff on your shelf for when you feel under the weather, I don’t know what is.
Ingredients:
- Organic Heirloom Garlic
- Organic Local Honey
- Pint Jar with lid
Directions:
Lightly crush each garlic clove with the flat of your knife. Then cut the ends and peel the clove.
Fill your jar with small cloves leaving about 1.5” of head room. Then fill the jar to the first ring with honey. To aid the honey settling in the cloves, warm the honey in warm water for a few minutes prior to pouring.
Keep the jar in a dark place, but make sure it’s someplace you will see regularly so you don’t forget about it. You can achieve this by wrapping the jar in a towel.
You need burp it daily for a week, then weekly for a month, then monthly till it doesn’t release gasses anymore.
An easier way to do this is to use a waterless fermentation lid(amazon).
