Garlic Water Recipe
Ingredients:
- 3-4 cloves of fresh garlic
- 1-2 cups of water (filtered or distilled)
Instructions:
- Prep the Garlic: Peel and crush or finely chop the garlic cloves. Crushing the garlic helps to release the beneficial compounds.
- Infuse the Water: Place the crushed garlic in a glass or jar. Pour the water over the garlic.
- Let it Sit: Cover the container and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to an hour. If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can let it sit longer.
- Strain (Optional): If you prefer not to have garlic pieces in your drink, strain the water before drinking.
- Drink: Consume the garlic-infused water on an empty stomach for the best results.
Optional: You can add a splash of lemon juice or a teaspoon of honey to improve the flavor.
