How
- 1
Fill a clean jar no more than halfway with peeled garlic cloves.
- 2
Cover completely with raw honey, leaving 2 inches of headspace. Label with the date.
- 3
Loosen the lid daily and turn the jar so every clove stays coated — it will bubble in the first weeks.
- 4
Ready after about a month. Keep at room temperature and use the honey and the cloves.
