Garlic, Honey, and Lemon Homemade Recipe

This garlic, honey, and lemon blend is a potent natural remedy often used to support the immune system, soothe sore throats, and improve overall health. Here’s how you can make it:

Ingredients:

• 3 whole garlic bulbs (about 15-20 cloves)
• 1 cup raw honey (preferably organic)
• 2 lemons (preferably organic)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Peel the garlic cloves and chop them into small pieces. You can also lightly crush the garlic to release its juices.
   • Wash the lemons thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds. You can remove the seeds if you like, but the peel can remain on for added nutrients and flavor.
2. Layer in a Jar:
   • In a clean, sterilized glass jar, begin by layering a few lemon slices at the bottom.
   • Add a layer of chopped garlic on top of the lemons.
   • Drizzle a spoonful of honey over the garlic and lemon layers.
3. Repeat the Layers:
   • Continue layering lemon slices, garlic, and honey until all ingredients are used and the jar is full.
4. Let it Infuse:
   • Cover the jar with a lid and store it in a cool, dark place for at least 3-5 days. This allows the ingredients to infuse and the flavors to meld together. During this time, the garlic will soften, and the honey will become more liquid.
5. Use:
   • After 3-5 days, the mixture is ready to use. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 months.
   • Take 1 teaspoon of the mixture daily as an immune booster, or add it to warm water or tea for a soothing drink.

Benefits:

• Garlic: Contains allicin, a compound known for its antimicrobial and immune-boosting properties.
• Honey: Soothes sore throats, has antibacterial properties, and is rich in antioxidants.
• Lemon: Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, lemon can help fight infections and support overall health.

Tips:

• Use organic ingredients whenever possible for maximum health benefits.
• For a stronger infusion, allow the mixture to sit for up to 1-2 weeks before use.

This simple recipe can be a great addition to your natural health regimen, especially during cold and flu season!
