Cold and flu season is not our favorite, but it is upon us. With all the viruses still running around rampant, it’s important to keep our immune systems strong. One natural way to do so is with this concoction.
Honey and garlic each have a long list of properties that include being anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory. They’re basically an antioxidant powerhouse and definitely the things to consume if you’re trying to prevent—or get over—colds and flu.
Ingredients
- 7 garlic cloves, peeled
- 5 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves.
- Place the cloves in a glass container and pour in enough honey to cover all the garlic.
- Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for around 5 days, until bubbles begin to form, indicating the fermentation process has begun.
- Let the honey and garlic sit for 1 month, opening every few days to release the carbon dioxide.
- After 30 days, eat a teaspoon of the honey daily or incorporate into your food.
