Fermented Honey Garlic
Fermented honey garlic is a condiment that gets its flavor and nutrition profile from the process of fermenting the raw honey and garlic. The fermentation process increases the potency of honey's health benefits by activating enzymes that weren't available in its raw form.

Ingredients
- 2-3 bulbs Fresh garlic cloves
- 3 cups Raw honey
- 1 qt Clean glass jar
Instructions
- Peel the garlic cloves and add them to the glass jar.
- Completely cover the garlic with raw honey.
- Place the jar in a dark place at room temperature.
- After a day or two the honey will begin to transform and have a more liquid consistency. That’s normal.
- You should see bubbles rising to the top. That’s a sure sign that the fermentation process is happening!
- Every 2-3 days, open the lid to “burp” (let the air out from) the jar.
- Continue this process for 1-3 weeks before using. Once it is fully fermented, you won’t need to “burp” the jar.
- The garlic will float to the surface. As long as the garlic is fully coated with honey it should be ok.
- It’s important to keep the garlic submerged in the honey. It helps if you turn the jar upside down.
- This fermented honey garlic can last for many months, and even longer, if stored properly.
