Fermented Garlic Infused Honey
Packed with immune-boosting properties, this healthy garlic infused honey is easy to make and even easier to eat.
Equipment
- Glass jar with lid
- Fermentation weight (optional)
Ingredients
- Organic garlic
- Raw, unpasteurized honey
- Raw apple cider vinegar (optional)
Instructions
- Fill your clean glass jar half full peeled garlic cloves.
- Next, pour honey into the jar up to the level of the garlic. If using apple cider vinegar, add a teaspoon to two at this point.
- Poke and stir around to release any air bubbles, then add a fermentation weight, if desired.
- Seal the jar lightly with a lid.
- If you're not using a fermentation weight, stir your garlic honey infusion daily with a spoon to re-coat the garlic that floats. This stirring also allows your garlic infused honey to "burp" and release gasses that build up during fermentation. If you are using a fermentation weight, you can simply open the jar every few days to release built up gasses.
- Let your garlic honey ferment in a cool, dark place for a month. It is normal to see some bubbles, darkening, separation of the honey, or a runnier honey consistency as the mixture ferments.
- Store your garlic infused honey at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy!
