Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup raw honey
  • 2 heads of garlic (10-12 cloves)
  • 1 small airtight jar

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Garlic by separating the cloves from the garlic head and peel them. Make sure the cloves are clean and free of dirt or debris.
  • Sterilize the Jar by washing the glass jar and lid with hot, soapy water, then rinse thoroughly. Alternatively, run them through the dishwasher or sterilize them by boiling for a few minutes.
  • Pack the Jar with Garlic by placing the prepared garlic cloves into the jar, leaving some space at the top to allow for expansion during fermentation.
  • Slightly warm the raw honey by placing its container in a bowl of warm water to make it easier to pour.
  • Once warm, Pour the honey over the garlic cloves, ensuring they are completely submerged.
  • Gently tap the jar on the countertop to release any trapped air bubbles.
  • Close the jar tightly with the lid and then store it in a cool, dark place at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
  • Let the mixture ferment for at least 1–2 weeks. For a deeper flavor, allow it to ferment longer.
  • During fermentation, open the jar daily to release any built-up gas, then reseal it.
