Ingredients

  • 1 large bulb or 2 smaller bulbs of garlic organic or locally grown is best
  • 16 ounces raw honey

Notes

  • Make sure the garlic is fully submerged in the honey. If it’s not, it can start to spoil. Give the mixture a shake once a day or so to ensure the garlic is submerged.
  • If you like a more mild taste, move the mixture to the refrigerator sooner to slow the fermentation. 
  • If you leave jar at room temperature for more than 48 hours, it may be a good idea to open the jar once a day, or once every other day to release any gasses. This will help release gas so when you are ready to eat, it doesn’t explode (like a shaken soda can). 
  • Make sure to use a clean jar.
