Take advantage of garlic's antimicrobial properties to boost your immune system to help fight illness.

Ingredients

  • Peeled garlic cloves
  • Apple cider vinegar, enough to cover
  • Raw local honey, to taste

Directions

  • Fill Mason jar with cloves and cover with apple cider vinegar. Keep in a warm, dark place for 3 to 4 weeks. (I like to put my jars in a paper bag and place in the sun.)
  • After a few weeks, strain liquid and set aside.
  • Pour half the liquid into a small saucepan over very low heat and stir in honey until fully incorporated.
  • Pour this back over the garlic and allow to sit for another 3 weeks in a cool dark place, such as your pantry.
  • Eat a clove of the pickled garlic whenever you wish, but for treating cold or flu, eat 3 to 5 cloves a day.Get more recipes and advice on gardening for wintertime health in Build a Fall Garden Medicine Chest.
