Garlic honey is super easy to make and ready almost immediately to treat sore throats, colds, the flu, lung congestion, and sinus problems.
Use a small jar (4-8 ounces/125-250ml) with a good lid. Fill it with unpeeled garlic cloves (you can peel and chop the cloves if you prefer), then pour honey over it all, using a chop stick to poke the honey down into the garlic. After screwing on the lid, label the jar with the contents and date. Overnight, so it seems, the garlic and honey combine to create a divine elixir that may be taken by the spoonful right out of the jar.
As it ages, both the honey and the garlic darken. After a couple of months, the garlic is suffused with honey and is lovely to eat. Garlic honey keeps indefinitely at room temperature, but should not be given to children less than one year old (as per any honey).
