Fermented Garlic Honey

Print Recipe

Equipment

  • Mason Jar

Ingredients

  • Garlic cloves
  • Raw honey

Instructions

  • Peel each clove of garlic and fill your glass jar to about half way up. Pour honey over the garlic until it is all covered. It's a good idea to use honey that is in a relatively liquid state to get all of the garlic coated.
  • It’s important to use raw honey because it has all the bacteria and wild yeast that is necessary for fermentation.
  • Gently press down with a spoon on the garlic to release some juices and mix it with the honey.
  • Leave the jar in a cool dark place and watch to see it start to bubble within a few days. The longer you let this ferment the better it gets, after some time the garlic starts to mellow in flavor.
