Here’s how to make it safely, what it’s good for, and what to avoid.
🌿🍯 Garlic, Honey & Clove Infusion (Safe, Simple Recipe)
Ingredients
-
6–8 garlic cloves, peeled
-
1 cup honey (raw or regular)
-
6–8 whole cloves
How to Make It
-
Lightly crush the garlic (don’t mince — keep pieces large).
-
Place garlic and whole cloves in a clean jar.
-
Warm the honey slightly (NOT hot — just warm to loosen).

Pour honey over the garlic and cloves until fully covered.
-
Cover the jar and let it infuse for 3–7 days at room temperature, then store in the fridge.
It gets more flavorful as it sits.

💬 What It Can Do
Individually, these ingredients can offer:
-
Garlic: strong flavor; traditional immune-support uses
-
Honey: soothing, especially for the throat

Cloves: aromatic, warming spice with antioxidant properties
Together they make a comforting, tasty infusion.
⚠️ Safety Notes
-
Not for infants under 1 year (honey risk).
-
Garlic may irritate the stomach for some people.
-
Cloves are strong—use whole cloves, not large amounts of clove oil.
-
Do not expect this to “cure” infections, blood pressure, or chronic illnesses.
-
If you have medical conditions or take blood thinners, check with a healthcare provider before consuming large amounts of garlic or cloves.
