Equipment

  • glass jar with lid
  • knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw honey
  • 1/2 cup fresh garlic cloves, peeled

Instructions

  • Peel fresh garlic cloves and leave them whole.
  • Place garlic cloves into a clean glass jar, filling about halfway.
  • Pour raw honey over the garlic until fully submerged.
  • Close the jar loosely and store at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
  • Open the jar daily during the first week to release built-up gases.
  • Allow mixture to ferment for 1–2 weeks before using.

Notes

Always keep garlic fully submerged in honey to ensure safe fermentation. Open the jar daily during the first week to release gases. Store at room temperature and use clean utensils. Best flavor develops after 1–2 weeks and improves over time.
