Garlic and Honey are both antimicrobial and great at fighting infections. The garlic once strained can be kept and taken regularly as a tonic or added into cooking. the honey can be taken at the early stages of a cold or to sooth a sore throat.
Ingredients:
3 garlic cloves (crushed)
Raw unpasteurized honey (enough to fully cover garlic)
sterilized glass jar with lid.
Directions:
Clean and peel garlic, press or chop into fine pieces.
Fill a clean sterilized glass jar half full with garlic. Poor honey over garlic and press with a clean wooden spoon or chop sticks.
Make sure all the garlic is covered. Cap and label jar. Let sit in a sunny window for 2 weeks. This will help with the infusion. Store for up to 3 months in a cool dark location after the 2 week infusion time is over.
You can either leave the garlic in the honey or strain the infusion.
Take 1 tsp. once a day as a tonic or 1 tsp. 3-6 x per day during a cold or throat infection.
Please take note that both honey and garlic contain spores that can cause botulism. It is important to keep water and moisture out of the jar.
