Medicinal Pickled Garlic
I learned how to prepare medicinal pickled garlic from my grandmother who was always ready to treat us with her self-made remedies. Garlic helps treating sore throats, colds, flu, poor digestion and is a potent antiseptic and antimicrobial agent effective against many types of infection. Above all, it really helps your immune system. Garlic contains allicin, an antibiotic and anti-fungal compound that protects it (the garlic) against pests.
In one of his books (The Honey, Garlic and Vinegar Miracle) Ray Collins expose the evidence that the mixture of honey, garlic and vinegar not only ease the symptoms of colds but also can boost the libido and energy; it instantly treat common ailments like indigestion, heartburn and headaches.
How To Prepare Medicinal Pickled Garlic With Honey
What do you need?
- a normal jar with garlic cloves
- apple cider vinegar
- half a jar of honey
- one jar
Fill the garlic jar with apple cider vinegar and keep it wherever you want (room temperature) for 4 weeks. After this period strain off the apple cider vinegar and place ½ of the liquid in a sauce pan and add half a jar of honey. Warm stirring until the honey and the vinegar mix together. Pour this back over the garlic and place the jar in a cool dark place for another 4 weeks. After that you can use the garlic to cook food, as a side dish or just eat it like that because it’s very tasty. Keep in mind that this medicinal pickled garlic would last for almost an year.
Once you’ve learned how to prepare medicinal pickled garlic with honey you can improve the recipe by adding all sorts of spices to make it taste even better (like bay leaves, thyme or you can make it spicy).
