Mixing Garlic and Honey with Cloves

🧄🍯 Garlic + Honey + Cloves Mix

Uses

1. Health/Tonic: Traditional remedy for immune support, cold relief, or general wellness.

2. Culinary: Marinade, glaze, or sauce for meats, roasted vegetables, or stir-fries.

Ingredients

• 3–5 cloves garlic, minced or crushed

• 3–4 tbsp honey (raw honey works best)

• 2–3 whole cloves (or ¼ tsp ground cloves if preferred)

Instructions (Simple Method)

1. Crush garlic: Peel and crush or finely mince garlic cloves.

2. Combine with honey: In a small jar or bowl, mix honey and garlic until smooth.

3. Add cloves:

   • For whole cloves, lightly crush them first to release flavor. Let them infuse for 1–2 hours or overnight in the fridge.

   • For ground cloves, stir in directly.

4. Optional: Warm slightly to thin honey if needed, but avoid overheating — this can destroy beneficial enzymes.

Tips & Notes

• Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2–3 weeks.

• Taste: Raw garlic is strong! Adjust garlic/honey ratio to your liking.

• Culinary uses:

  • Brush on roasted chicken or pork for a sweet-garlic glaze.

  • Stir into vinaigrettes or dressings.

  • Drizzle over roasted vegetables for depth of flavor.

• Health note: Garlic + honey is generally safe, but avoid giving raw honey to children under 1 year due to botulism risk.
