Step 1: Prepare the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves carefully.
You can leave them whole or lightly crush them for a stronger flavor.
Let crushed garlic rest for about 10 minutes before mixing.
Step 2: Sterilize the Jar
Wash the glass jar with hot water and dry it completely.
A clean jar helps preserve the mixture longer.
Step 3: Add Garlic and Cloves
Place the garlic cloves into the jar.
Add the whole cloves evenly around the garlic.
Step 4: Pour the Honey
Slowly pour the raw honey into the jar until all ingredients are fully covered.
If desired, add a little fresh lemon juice for extra flavor.
Step 5: Let It Infuse
Seal the jar tightly and let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
For a deeper flavor, refrigerate and allow it to infuse for 3–5 days before using.
