Description
A sweet, tangy, and umami-rich syrup made by fermenting garlic in honey, enhancing the flavor of various dishes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10–12 medium garlic cloves (about 3 oz peeled)
- 1 cup (240 ml) raw honey
Instructions
- Start with a clean 16–20 oz glass jar.
- Place the peeled garlic cloves in the jar and pour honey over them to completely submerge.
- Use a small fermentation weight or clean glass pebble to keep the garlic submerged.
- Cover the jar with a loose lid or fermentation lid to allow gas to escape.
- Store at 65–75°F and burp the jar daily for the first week.
- Taste after 5–7 days or when the sweetness and tang balance to your liking, then refrigerate.
Notes
Use raw, unpasteurized honey for better fermentation. Keep garlic cloves fully submerged to prevent mold, and maintain a stable room temperature.
