Ingredients
- —3 bulbs of organic garlic
- —1 jar of high-quality raw honey
Instructions
Thoroughly clean and dry a glass (mason) jar.
Peel the garlic and halve the larger cloves.
Fill the jar two-thirds full with garlic and pour in enough honey to completely cover the cloves.
Gently press the cloves down to remove any air pockets.
Seal the jar and store it in a dark place at room temperature.
During the first week, open the jar daily to release any built-up gases.
Carefully tilt or rotate the jar to ensure all garlic stays submerged in the honey.
After a few days, small bubbles will appear — this means fermentation has begun.
Allow the mixture to mature for at least 4 weeks, though a longer fermentation will deepen and mellow the flavor.
Store at room temperature and use as needed.
Serving Tip
Some recipes aren’t made for their appearance but for what they do for your body. Fermented garlic in honey is exactly that kind of classic: a traditional home remedy used for generations to support immunity, energy, and digestion. With just two pure ingredients, you’ll create a mild, sweet ferment that gets stronger and smoother every day. All you need to do is start the process — time will do the rest. Serve a teaspoon of the honey with a soft garlic clove when your immune system could use a little boost — warm, mild, and surprisingly effective.
Storage Tip
Store the sealed jar at room temperature. The ferment will keep for months to years and will continue to develop more flavor over time.
