Step 1: Peel the Garlic
Remove the skin from the garlic cloves.
You can lightly crush them to release more flavor.
Step 2: Add to a Pot
Pour into a saucepan:
- Milk
- Water
- Garlic cloves
Step 3: Boil Gently
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over low heat.
Stir occasionally and simmer for about 10–15 minutes.
The garlic will soften and the liquid may reduce slightly.
Step 4: Strain the Drink
Strain the garlic pieces if desired.
Some people prefer drinking it smooth, while others eat the softened garlic too.

Add honey after the drink cools slightly.
This can help improve the flavor.
