A natural, soothing cold remedy combining raw honey, crushed garlic, and lemon juice to provide fast relief with a comforting texture and immune-boosting properties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup raw honey (340 grams)
  • 68 fresh garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (30 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger (15 grams, optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or 1 cinnamon stick (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons filtered water (30 ml, optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and crush the garlic cloves using a garlic press or finely mince them (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the raw honey and crushed garlic. Stir well until the garlic is evenly suspended in the honey (about 2 minutes).
  3. Add the fresh lemon juice and stir again to blend (about 1 minute).
  4. Optional: add grated ginger and cinnamon, then stir thoroughly (about 1 minute).
  5. If the honey is too thick or crystallized, add filtered water and stir gently until the texture loosens slightly but remains syrupy (about 1 minute).
  6. Transfer the mixture to a clean glass jar with a lid. Seal tightly and let it sit at room temperature for 12-24 hours before using to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Use fresh, firm garlic for best flavor and potency. Do not heat the honey to preserve enzymes. Let the mixture rest for at least 12 hours to mellow the garlic and blend flavors. Store at room temperature away from sunlight. If honey crystallizes, add a small amount of filtered water to loosen. Refrigeration is not recommended as it hardens the honey.
