Print Recipe

A simple, natural remedy made by fermenting fresh garlic cloves in raw honey to boost the immune system and soothe cold and flu symptoms. This easy homemade recipe creates a tangy, sweet, and syrupy tonic rich in probiotics and antioxidants.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (340 g) raw honey
  • 10–12 large fresh garlic cloves, peeled
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Optional: 1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Peel and prepare garlic cloves, keeping them whole and firm. Peel and slice optional ginger and lemon if using.
  2. Place peeled garlic cloves and optional ginger slices into a clean 16 oz (500 ml) glass jar, packing them snugly but without crushing.
  3. Slowly pour raw honey over the garlic until fully submerged, leaving about ½ inch (1.5 cm) headspace at the top of the jar.
  4. If using, stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the honey before sealing the jar.
  5. Seal the jar loosely to allow gases to escape but keep dust out. Store at room temperature (68-72°F / 20-22°C) away from direct sunlight.
  6. Every day or two, gently stir the mixture with a wooden or silicone spoon to release gases and redistribute the honey.
  7. Start tasting after about 2 weeks; garlic cloves will soften and honey will become thinner and tangier. Ferment up to 3 weeks for preferred flavor.
  8. Once desired flavor is reached, tighten the lid and refrigerate to slow fermentation. Keep refrigerated for 3-6 months.

Notes

Use fresh garlic and raw, unpasteurized honey for best fermentation results. Stir daily to release gases and prevent pressure buildup. Avoid metal utensils and lids during fermentation. Discard if mold or off smells appear. Refrigerate after fermentation to preserve flavor and probiotics. Avoid heating above 110°F (43°C) to protect enzymes.
