Fermented Honey Garlic: Unlock the Benefits of This Tasty Superfood
Fermented honey garlic is a simple, immune-boosting natural remedy made by fermenting whole garlic cloves in raw honey. It develops a sweet, tangy, and savory flavor while preserving the health benefits of both ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole garlic cloves, peeled and slightly crushed
- 1 cup raw honey (or more, as needed to cover garlic)
Instructions
- Peel the garlic cloves and gently crush them using the flat side of a knife to release flavor.
- Place the crushed garlic into a clean, dry jar.
- Pour raw honey over the garlic until all cloves are fully covered.
- Stir or gently shake the jar to ensure the garlic is evenly coated.
- Seal the jar tightly and leave it at room temperature for 1–2 weeks to ferment. Look for small bubbles, which indicate fermentation.
- After one week, taste your fermented honey garlic. If tangy and flavorful, it’s ready; if not, allow to ferment for another week.
Notes
- You can substitute garlic cloves with garlic powder, though the flavor will be less robust.
- For a vegan alternative, replace honey with agave syrup.
- Use a clean, dry jar to prevent unwanted bacteria.
- Bubbles during fermentation are a natural and healthy sign.
