What You Need

First, you need to gather your premium ingredients. This raw honey garlic recipe requires just two main components, but quality is absolutely essential.

• 3 heads of organic garlic: Look for firm, plump bulbs without any green sprouts.
• 1 cup of raw, unpasteurized honey: Avoid ultra-processed commercial honey because it lacks active enzymes.
• 1 splash of raw apple cider vinegar (optional): To add a touch of safety and acidity.

Next, make sure you have your basic tools ready on your clean counter. Then, grab a sharp chef’s knife to trim the roots. Also, find a clean 1-pint glass mason jar with a secure plastic or metal lid.

Your Step-by-Step Guide to the Infusion

Step 1: Prep and Peel Your Cloves

First, separate the individual cloves from your garlic heads. Then, peel the papery skin off every single clove completely. Next, use the flat side of your chef’s knife to press down gently on each clove to bruise it slightly.

Also, you can slice the cloves in half if you prefer a faster release of juices. If you are learning how to ferment garlic in honey for the first time, bruising the cloves releases a key compound called allicin. Afterward, let the bruised garlic rest on your cutting board for five minutes before moving to the next step.

Step 2: Combine in the Mason Jar

Next, drop all of your bruised garlic cloves directly into your clean glass mason jar. Then, pour your raw honey slowly over the top of the cloves. Next, make sure the honey coats the garlic completely as it settles down to the bottom.

Furthermore, leave at least an inch of empty space at the absolute top of the jar. The mixture will expand and bubble up quite a bit as the active fermentation kicks off over the next few days. Finally, stir the mixture gently with a wooden chopstick to release any trapped air pockets.

Step 3: Burp and Flip Daily

First, twist the lid onto your glass mason jar securely. Then, turn the jar completely upside down on your counter to ensure the honey coats every single clove. Next, flip the jar right-side up again after a few hours.

Next, you must open the lid slightly once every single day to let natural carbon dioxide gas escape safely. This process is called “burping” the jar, and it prevents pressure from building up inside the glass. Then, reseal the lid and store the jar in a dark pantry at room temperature.

Step 4: Let the Flavors Mellow Out

First, watch your jar closely over the next two weeks as tiny bubbles begin to dance along the sides of the glass. Then, do not worry if the thick honey begins to look thin and runny. Next, let the active mixture sit undisturbed in your pantry for at least four full weeks.

Also, notice how the aggressive, sharp bite of the raw cloves transforms into something smooth and delicious. Afterward, you can enjoy the liquid syrup or eat the softened cloves directly from the jar. Finally, keep the jar stored in a cool, dark place to enjoy its amazing properties all year long.
