For centuries garlic and raw honey have been known to contain strong medicinal qualities. Now, put them together and allow the concoction to ferment. (It is really that simple!) And what is created is a powerhouse of healthy goodness.
It is not only one of the easiest ferments to make, but also one of the healthiest! If you’re considering getting into fermenting at home, this is a great place to start!
In stacking the anti-bacterial properties found in both honey and garlic make this ferment incredibly beneficial!
Garlic is an expectorant, fever reducer, digestive stimulant, anti-parasitic, cholesterol reducer, and blood thinner (so avoid large quantities of this ferment if you are taking blood thinners already.)
The process of making fermented garlic honey is extremely easy. Simply stack layers of garlic covering the cloves with honey and repeat. Make sure that the top layer is honey and the garlic is completely submerged. Remove all the air bubbles.
Consider using a fermentation pipe to release air or you may open the lid to burb the fermentation daily.
You will know the fermentation is ready when the honey goes from it’s normal consistency to very thin and runny.
