It also helps temper the strong flavor of garlic and cloves while enhancing absorption of their beneficial compounds.
How to Make the Garlic, Clove, and Honey Remedy
Basic Recipe (Daily Wellness Boost):
Ingredients:
2 cloves of garlic (crushed)
1 teaspoon of ground cloves
1 tablespoon of raw honey
Instructions:
Crush the garlic cloves using a garlic press or the flat side of a knife to release the allicin.
Mix crushed garlic, ground cloves, and raw honey in a small bowl until well combined.
Consume 1–2 teaspoons daily , either straight or diluted in warm water, tea, or herbal infusion.
🍯 Tip: If the taste is too intense, swallow the mixture like a pill by rolling it into small balls or diluting it in a warm drink.
Ways to Customize the Mixture
Everyone’s palate—and wellness needs—are different. Here are some variations to suit your taste and enhance the benefits:
For a Milder Flavor:
Roast the garlic before crushing it. Roasting mellows the sharpness while keeping the health benefits intact.
Increase the amount of raw honey to balance the spice from cloves.
For Extra Immune Support:
Add grated ginger or a pinch of turmeric for added anti-inflammatory power.
Try mixing in a few drops of lemon juice to increase vitamin C content and brighten the flavor.
For a Smoother Consistency:
Blend all ingredients in a food processor or mortar and pestle to create a paste. This makes it easier to mix into drinks or spread onto toast.
For Herbal Depth & Flavor:
Infuse the honey with fresh thyme or rosemary for a few hours before mixing in the garlic and cloves.
These herbs add extra antimicrobial benefits and a gentle, aromatic layer to the mixture.
For a Different Spice Profile:
Substitute cloves with allspice or nutmeg for a milder, sweeter-spiced version with similar warming properties.
