I had a tooth that was super infected. I had to take a trip to Jamaica for a wedding. I was using booze to numb the pain and that stopped working. I ended up chewing on garlic. It worked. I chewed that stuff on the plane. Lol. After a couple days I was all better and enjoyed the trip.
I'll take the garlic. Sprinkle a little salt on it and soak it in apple cider vinegar overnight. Then I drain the vinegar off but do not rinse before I add it to the honey. This helps to ensure there's no botulism
You can also just add a tablespoon of any kind of vinegar to your jar. This will help lower the PH of the garlic as it ferments which elimiates the risk of botulism.
Do u live in cold weather climate? I’m worried what’s going on with my jar. I posted a comment about it too.. I’ve made it since 3 days and yesterday put an aluminium foil weight inside it so that the garlic keeps immersed in the honey but today when I ate it, I felt something weird in my stomach and felt anxious… idk if mine has gone bad. I spent. 3 hrs peeling the garlic and the honey is raw k precious
@@Snowlily01 OK! First You Buy Minced, Of Chopped Garlic, It Comes In A Container The Same Size As Mayonnaise Does" You Drain Off The Water Very Well, ( You Will See As Needed Making This) Put The Garlic First In You Ball Canning Jar, Then Add Your Honey "" Buy A Big Bottle Of It) Totally Cover The Garlic! Continue Draining The Water As Needed And Add More Honey) Leave It Overnight And It Will Saturate The Garlic, Have A Spoonful Everyday! Just Swallow Don't Chew It) Eat Your Breakfast, Rinse Your Mouth With Mouthwash, And Brush Your Teeth!! Enjoy Great Health!
Also: It Lasts Along Time, I Wash The Jar And Repeat This Process About Once A Month Or More! If You Have A Stuffy Nose Or Sore Throat In The Morning, Take You Spoonful And Get On With Your Day, It Goes Away Quickly! Feel Free To Contact Me Anytime For More Questions, I Will Reply When I Can! Take Care!
The garlic over time will change color n get dark colored either all over or spots. It is fine, it is not bad. My Work 3 ppl passed an awful cold among each other, I got scratchy throat n sniffles BUT I pumped my honey n garlic several times a day n I never got sick!! LOVE THIS STUFF!
@Wayne3791 More like there isn't any hard evidence. Also most pollen allergies are from trees and grasses, not flowers where bees get their nectar from. Pollen would also only get into honey by accident (or sometimes as an additive), it's afterall not what bees need to make honey. That being said my pharmacist did tell me just ~2 months that it works for most people.
I also make fermented honey with garlic, ginger, lemongrass and habanero chilies. I love it drizzled over chicken wings! I have garlic honey that is 2 years old I am still using…I find it best at at least a year old.
How do you store it? I have a fermented jar of garlic and honey that I started in November and have stored in my cabinet but not sure if I should have stored it in the fridge
@@iluvhair81 I just keep mine in a cupboard. I would burp often in the beginning and then periodically. I never put it in the fridge. The batch I currently use is now over 2 years old.
Wow that is incredible. Where do u live? I live in India and it’s pretty hot here now, Im worried my jar might develop that bacteria… how do u store yours? Don’t you feel a little weird after consuming the garlic honey?
@@Snowlily01 I live in Vermont in the US…so not very hot most seasons. I used to worry about it growing bad bacteria but I have read that raw honey never goes bad and inhibits the growth of bad bacteria…not sure how true that is…but I use raw honey as an anti-bacterial on cuts and wounds and it is amazing used on burns. I had a third degree burn on my hip and after icing until the pain went away…which was about 6 hours…I bandaged it with raw honey and it never blistered, never oozed and healed with no scar. Raw honey is amazing! I use it more as a medicine than I do a food. If you are worried about the heat I would just refrigerate after a few months of fermenting…or just make small batches more often.
I have this condition where i got a polyp growing inside my nose, it's triggering my sinus effects and i am completely unable to smell anything at all but after eating fermented garlic in honey, that goes away as if it's some sort of magic. Like the next morning i woke after eating a spoonful, i immediately smell sugar that I already forgotten it even has a smell while making tea! My miracle was through garlic honey!!!
My garlic crop was not great this year. But I know a local organic farmer, so bought extra from him. He said everyone had problems this year. I put my garlic into the food processor with cold pressed olive oil. Put it into ice cube trays, freeze and put into a container in the freezer. Very easy
I've done this twice but I didn't burp the jars. It came with a lid that has this flap that lets air/gas out but nothing in. No idea if that's wrong but it worked ok. Very tasty.
Thanks for the reminder... I have been meaning to do this as I already have the ingredients. I believe garlic is also antiviral, too. Eating fermented foods is the best thing we can do for our health! Nice looking pantry.

Thank you!!! I have 2 jars of year old fermented jalapeños and garlic, and have been scared to eat them because of botulism! I was searching the comments for just that concern. Do you know why- if sugar content is too high- babies aren’t to have honey in their first year? Is it just the amount of botulism to which they’re particularly sensitive?
Babies do not have a built up immune system to fight off any pathogens that may be in there including certain strains of botulism. Once they are a year old, their immune system is usually pretty strong.@@paraguayalyssa

Oh my goodness! I'm so thankful for this video. I just about a week ago started this process. I just made one small jar. As it would be the last 2 days I have felt myself getting sick and upon eating the garlic, which is still quite crunchy, I feel like my esophagus is on fire. Clearly it's not ready to be eaten. For now. I will just pour some of the honey into a tablespoon and do that. The fermentation has definitely started and I've been burping it every day. But definitely the garlic as you mentioned. Should be at least 2 weeks in it or until it's able to be eaten. So thankful for this
My daughter told me to eat raw garlic cloves when I was sick and I nearly puked. I love garlic but WOW that was BOLD. LOL Cannot wait to make THIS! THANKS for sharing!
@@tomthomassony8607 I've got some now that's 4 weeks fermented and it definitely tastes much better. I can eat one or two of these a day. Sorry about my bad breath. LOL
@@JoJo-oc8oq I try to eat one per day but right now I'm fasting and I don't know if I'm ever going to stomach garlic again! LOL I get nauseated smelling it right now.
This is awesome, we do similar and add lemon also. Works a treat to break up congested chest when the dreeded cold is around.. Keep up the fantastic videos 😀
I use local raw unfiltered honey. I got sick a few nights ago. Been taking spoonfuls of this several times a day, since. I'm almost completely over this cold.
Thank you for this video! I did notice that you used a metal spoon when you stirred your honey, I thought that putting metal into the honey would break down the medicinal properties or nutrients and to use a wooden or plastic spoon instead. What do you think? Again, thank you for this video! Ive made mine and started using it! My garlic tastes a little nutty, and easier to handle!
You're welcome. The metal spoon thing is a partial old wives tale. You can use stainless steel with no problem. You can use other metal alloy spoons but it must not remain in the honey for a long time. Glad your garlic mellowed out!
@@G3ro_Oni_mo He's actually a chiropractor, hence why he has the title Dr. He's very knowledgeable and shares excellent information. Plus, he helps so many people.
Excellent video! I watched about a dozen on this subject, yours explained the entire process perfectly. I am now off to make a batch of honey fermented garlic.
@@CountryLivingExperience I'm a new viewer to your channel, would a vacuum sealer like a Pump and Seal be effective at all after the fermentation process was over for extended shelf life, or using it wouldn't add any benefit Wheresoever? Just curious, thanks if you can answer.
I just want to say you have a lot of patience to repeat yourself to so many people who just don't pay attention to what you already said or who argue ridiculous points or ask a question that has been asked a million times already...aka "for diabetics?". My husband is diabetic and yeah honey would spike him, so that would be a risk he had to choose if he needed to take this for illness. These peeps need to use their brain and common sense. Thanks for the great, not too long, video. I will make this today.
You can use an airlock then you don’t have to burp it and it usually makes it easier to avoid contamination. Also, dark buckwheat honey is amazing as is for sore throats. I make hot tea with fresh thyme, half a lemon, white pine needles, and dark buckwheat honey when I’m sick
Thank you for the detailed video! Question, you said burp the jar for the first 2 weeks daily and then ferment for another 2 weeks for everything to fully ferment. Should I keep burping it after the initial 2 weeks?
I just made a jar for the first time and I’m excited to see/taste the results but I prepared mine a little differently. I cleaned and cut up 2 whole bunches of organic garlic and sliced each clove in several pieces before adding one whole diced red onion and Cayenne Pepper. I allowed the garlic to sit after cutting for 10 to 15 minutes give or take before adding the other ingredients. I sprinkled on organic cayenne pepper and would shake the contents around until everything was lightly coated evenly and then slowly added the Honey. Now I’m constantly flipping the jar upside down and then back up every 15 minutes to release the pressure buildup. How long would you recommend I ferment it for eating and how long do you think the shelf life will last?
That is nice that you made it differently but I cannot answer your question because of the addition of the other ingredients. Onion reacts very differently with honey.
You really don't need to worry about the oxygen during fermentation. CO2 is produced, which is heavier than oxygen, so it will displace any air above the surface with a CO2 layer. I only cover mine with a paper towel/coffee filter held down with the lid. Once you start using the product, then you can put a lid on it though I haven't found it necessary with daily usage.
Hello I stumbled upon your video and love how well the information was explained. And on top of that very concise. You just got a new subscriber. Thank you for your time
I love this stuff on chicken! I heard it is also good on pizza, though I have not tried this, yet. I'll bet it would be great on ribs, too. I sometimes put brown sugar and apple juice on ribs to moisten them and get a tasty crust layer on top, but the garlic fermented honey sounds like a great idea, too. Mine have been in jars over a year, and I've put a good dent in them both.
Thank you for the tip on burping without letting oxygen in. I only saw this addressed in one other video where they actually used a thick glass cover known as a pickle pebble over the mixture. Supposed to prevent botulism. Great video, thank you.
Do you add cayenne powder to whole mixture (from beginibg,) or per serving? I noticed the garlic in the bottles you were holding were not fully submerged in honey, is that OK? I thought they had to be at all time 🤔 I am looking forward to starting my first batch. In advance, thank you for reading me and for your consideration.
I’ve never fermented anything before due to concerns with mold or botulism. Your recipe sounds easy though… I do have a question 🙋♀ though, how do you know the difference between mold and benign discoloration of the garlic like you mentioned in your video?
I hope you try it. It is easy to tell the difference. Mold will almost always be hairy or fuzzy. The discoloration is slow and gradual and will be a blue/green color.
Quick question(s): I love cayenne pepper, so how much would you recommend putting in? And I take it that you would put it in at the beginning? Also, I like ground cumin; I might start a jar with that instead of (or in addition to) the cayenne. What would you recommend as an experiment? Please give me your thoughts, and I will let you know how it turns out. EDIT: Also, there is Ginger, now I believe Mary-Ann was prettier, but I believe Ginger is better for you. So, any thoughts on adding some ginger to the mix?
I would put in as much cayenne as you can take. Maybe start with 1/2tsp and increase it from there. I would wait to put it in until the initial ferment process is done.....about 1 month.
@@CountryLivingExperience : Thank you for the reply; I decided to "chicken out" on the cayenne pepper and went straight for slices of Habanero peppers. Most of my half-pint jars got a half pepper, and the one quart jar got 3 whole peppers. If it works out as I hope, I will label that jar as "Hell's Best Syrup".
@@benc6690 Well... I had not tried them yet, until I saw your reply, so I said, "Now is as good a time as any." So I started with a teaspoon full from one of the half-pint jars. It was sweet with just a little bit of heat. About 10 minutes latter I went to the pint jar (actually a 1.5 pint jar) which would have doubled the habanero concentration over the half-pint jar. Wow, a good kick! If I actually had a cold, that would have opened my sinuses right away. I do have some other, more general comments which I will put in later. I did have a small jar go bad, and I want to explain what I think went wrong, so that others can know what to look for.
I was given some honey from a guy at work, but didnt really touch it. I found a huge puddle of it stuck to my counter, so I thought my cat was getting into it. Turns out, its real honey that, news to me uears ago, solidifies/crystalizes. I learned to read the labels, where they're from, and if theyre semi-solid.
I've been fermenting veggies (mostly peppers for hot sauce) for a couple of years now and am wondering if there's any reason an airlock or any type of vented fermentation lid couldn't be used with this recipe? Also, does anyone have any experience with fermenting hot peppers in honey? Peppers have a much higher liquid content and would probably result in a much more watery finished product but I have to think that the combination would produce some killer hot/sweet peppers. Thanks for sharing the info!
I've been doing this for a long time very few cold's less severe symptoms, I am 67 a smoker no covid shot's never had it. Need to get my diet right & shrink my prostate
But is this actual "fermentation"? I ask because the super saturated sugar in honey would be a hindrance to bacterial fermentation. I mean honey was (& is) used as a wound covering because it inhibits bacterial growth, right? This super saturated state is why recognizable honey has been found undegraded in ancient burial sites. If this garlic/honey mix actually fermented then wouldn't bacteria "eat" some of the honey and produce acidic by-products that actually do the pickling which is characteristic of fermentation? Aren't we actually just seeing the juices in the garlic being "pulled" out by the hydroscopic properties of super saturated sugars and creating a compound? Well, whatever is actually going on I say if it works then carry on!
My understanding is that it is a yeast fermentation. Similar to making mead, but mead is a yeast to alcohol fermentation. Honey ferments when the water content rises above 21% (I believe that’s the percentage). If you do not add material with enough water content it simply becomes an infusion. With higher water content fermentation begins. Sometimes honey ferments on its own, but in these instances the moisture is added purposefully to kickstart the process.
is it okay if i don't close my jar properly? Because I didn't check it properly, I didn't notice that my jar wasn't closed properly. can it still be used or should I throw it away?😢
I started mine @ 2 weeks ago and I tried one this morning and man! I need to wait longer 😂 it was soooooo strong! My throat is sore from it I guess 🤷🏽♀️. I’ll try again gin later lol
Love this! Quick question though! I know you said botulism cant grow in honey, but why is there a concern for infants consuming honey and potential botulism?
Thanks. This is from the CDC...botulism bacteria and toxins are two different things. "Most infant botulism cases cannot be prevented because the bacteria that causes the disease is in soil and dust. The bacteria can be found inside homes on floors, carpet, and countertops-even after cleaning. For almost all children and adults who are healthy, ingesting botulism spores is not dangerous and will not cause botulism (it’s the toxin that is dangerous). For reasons we do not understand, some infants get botulism when the spores get into their digestive tracts, grow, and produce the toxin.Honey can contain the bacteria that causes infant botulism, so do not feed honey to children younger than 12 months. Honey is safe for people 1 year of age and older." Hope this helps.
Tumeric needs fat for being absorbed well ,how about warm milk ,or other like coco UT oil. The peppermint does increase absorption but it needs fat also. I use warm milk with the tumeric ,pepper and honey.😊
Typo... VACUUM SEALING : If we use a vacuum sealed do we still need to burp each day for 2 weeks, or should we not vacuum seal because we must burp for 3 weeks @countrylivingexperience. Ty so much
I’ve done my process purely by word of mouth so after making a batch, I thought I should do some research aha your method is really helpful and informative thanks ..
Very interesting nice to know the type of bacteria cause fermentation before and after adding honey Iam intersted in food microbiolgy can u help We have in sudan fermented foods many this healthy
Can you keep ONION and honey mixture out on the counter also like garlic? And how will I know what's your answer will be? Where do I find the answers to the questions on this site?
Thanks but that is partially an old wives tale. Stainless steel will not react with the hone. Other metal alloy spoons will but you need to leave it in the honey for a long time.
I just found your video; thank you for the excellent and detailed information. How much Cayane pepper would you add to a jar like the one in your video, please?

Dr.Berg is a fraud, he's a physical therapist 😂🤣
@@G3ro_Oni_mo He's actually a chiropractor, hence why he has the title Dr. He's very knowledgeable and shares excellent information. Plus, he helps so many people.
@@G3ro_Oni_mo really? I thought he is a chiropractor!
Excellent video! I watched about a dozen on this subject, yours explained the entire process perfectly. I am now off to make a batch of honey fermented garlic.
Wonderful! Glad it was helpful.
@@CountryLivingExperience I'm a new viewer to your channel, would a vacuum sealer like a Pump and Seal be effective at all after the fermentation process was over for extended shelf life, or using it wouldn't add any benefit Wheresoever? Just curious, thanks if you can answer.
@@jamessimpson5051 Hello James. A vacuum sealer would not be beneficial in this instance.
I shake mine in a jar to peel it. Works like a charm!
I just want to say you have a lot of patience to repeat yourself to so many people who just don't pay attention to what you already said or who argue ridiculous points or ask a question that has been asked a million times already...aka "for diabetics?". My husband is diabetic and yeah honey would spike him, so that would be a risk he had to choose if he needed to take this for illness. These peeps need to use their brain and common sense. Thanks for the great, not too long, video. I will make this today.
Thank you so much. I appreciate your kind comment. It surely takes a lot of patience to make TH-cam videos.
Ty sir. I try to eat a tablespoon of local honey once or twice a day
You're welcome. Glad you are eating it often.
You can use an airlock then you don’t have to burp it and it usually makes it easier to avoid contamination.
Also, dark buckwheat honey is amazing as is for sore throats. I make hot tea with fresh thyme, half a lemon, white pine needles, and dark buckwheat honey when I’m sick
Absolutely.
Sounds like a good recipe.
im wondering how to cann this to keep indefinately after all they found perfect edible honey in mummy tombs in eqypt
You should be able to keep it a long time if the honey is real. Mine has been on our countertop for 7 months.
Thank you for the detailed video! Question, you said burp the jar for the first 2 weeks daily and then ferment for another 2 weeks for everything to fully ferment. Should I keep burping it after the initial 2 weeks?
You're welcome. The fermentation process slows down after 1.5 to 2 weeks. No need to burp after that because gas is not being developed.
I added black seed and waited for a month it really worked
Cool
I just made a jar for the first time and I’m excited to see/taste the results but I prepared mine a little differently. I cleaned and cut up 2 whole bunches of organic garlic and sliced each clove in several pieces before adding one whole diced red onion and Cayenne Pepper. I allowed the garlic to sit after cutting for 10 to 15 minutes give or take before adding the other ingredients. I sprinkled on organic cayenne pepper and would shake the contents around until everything was lightly coated evenly and then slowly added the Honey. Now I’m constantly flipping the jar upside down and then back up every 15 minutes to release the pressure buildup. How long would you recommend I ferment it for eating and how long do you think the shelf life will last?
That is nice that you made it differently but I cannot answer your question because of the addition of the other ingredients. Onion reacts very differently with honey.
Yes good thing I do the same u can also add fresh oregano too❤❤
Mine I give it a week to two but yes it's important to berp UT. One week is enough
Thanks for sharing this vedio. Very informative God bless. Thanks again.
You really don't need to worry about the oxygen during fermentation. CO2 is produced, which is heavier than oxygen, so it will displace any air above the surface with a CO2 layer. I only cover mine with a paper towel/coffee filter held down with the lid. Once you start using the product, then you can put a lid on it though I haven't found it necessary with daily usage.
OMG THE GLOBAL WARMING!!! TRADING CO2 CREDITS!!!
-just kidding!
Yep, everytime I ferment garlic I pay the CO2 tax. Fart is expensive these days.
By far the best video on TH-cam. Full of information!!!
Thank you
Hello I stumbled upon your video and love how well the information was explained. And on top of that very concise. You just got a new subscriber. Thank you for your time
Thank you. Welcome
Thanks for the tips. I just did my first jar, and I am looking forward to trying it in about a week.
You’re welcome
I love this stuff on chicken! I heard it is also good on pizza, though I have not tried this, yet. I'll bet it would be great on ribs, too. I sometimes put brown sugar and apple juice on ribs to moisten them and get a tasty crust layer on top, but the garlic fermented honey sounds like a great idea, too. Mine have been in jars over a year, and I've put a good dent in them both.
Nice!
After the honey & garlic is ready, do you eat a clove of garlic a day? Or just when your sick?
I can confirm, it's very good on pizza.
Thank you for the tip on burping without letting oxygen in. I only saw this addressed in one other video where they actually used a thick glass cover known as a pickle pebble over the mixture. Supposed to prevent botulism. Great video, thank you.
You're welcome.
@@CountryLivingExperience can I use garlic that is already peeled and sealed? Will it still create allicin when chopped?
@@JoshuaK-st7ln That will be fine.
This seems like a good candidate for a canning weight in the jar so you don't have to keep turning the jar every day to keep the garlic coated.
Good solution!
Quick question. If honey has antibiotic properties, how does it allow healthy bacteria to grow and ferment, (Lactobacillus)?
I’m excited to try this!
Cool. The word fermented, which has always been used with this process, is misleading. It is not creating lactobacillus.
Do you add cayenne powder to whole mixture (from beginibg,) or per serving?
I noticed the garlic in the bottles you were holding were not fully submerged in honey, is that OK? I thought they had to be at all time 🤔
I am looking forward to starting my first batch.
In advance, thank you for reading me and for your consideration.
I showed how you shake it upside down every day to keep the garlic coated until it submerges.
@@CountryLivingExperience appreciate your response, thank you
very helpful to have an in depth totorial. thanks a lot.
others just keep saying, throw garlic in honey, open and stir. finish
You're welcome
@@CountryLivingExperience started the fermentation today. thanks again bud c:
I’ve never fermented anything before due to concerns with mold or botulism. Your recipe sounds easy though… I do have a question 🙋♀ though, how do you know the difference between mold and benign discoloration of the garlic like you mentioned in your video?
I hope you try it.
It is easy to tell the difference. Mold will almost always be hairy or fuzzy. The discoloration is slow and gradual and will be a blue/green color.
@@CountryLivingExperience thanks for telling me the difference between mold and discoloration.
I'm wondering about botulism as well
@@paigeburton8995 No botulism. It cannot grow in the high acid environment.
You could buy PH strips as well and monitor that way as well , could add some Apple Cider Vinegar if needed
I bought Cutco knives > 50 yrs ago , have the original set ! love them.
They are the best! I love mine.
Quick question(s): I love cayenne pepper, so how much would you recommend putting in? And I take it that you would put it in at the beginning? Also, I like ground cumin; I might start a jar with that instead of (or in addition to) the cayenne. What would you recommend as an experiment? Please give me your thoughts, and I will let you know how it turns out.
EDIT: Also, there is Ginger, now I believe Mary-Ann was prettier, but I believe Ginger is better for you. So, any thoughts on adding some ginger to the mix?
I would put in as much cayenne as you can take. Maybe start with 1/2tsp and increase it from there. I would wait to put it in until the initial ferment process is done.....about 1 month.
@@CountryLivingExperience : Thank you for the reply; I decided to "chicken out" on the cayenne pepper and went straight for slices of Habanero peppers. Most of my half-pint jars got a half pepper, and the one quart jar got 3 whole peppers. If it works out as I hope, I will label that jar as "Hell's Best Syrup".
@@stephenrussell2013 Lol
@@stephenrussell2013 That's now on my "going to have to try" list. How did they turn out?
@@benc6690 Well... I had not tried them yet, until I saw your reply, so I said, "Now is as good a time as any." So I started with a teaspoon full from one of the half-pint jars. It was sweet with just a little bit of heat. About 10 minutes latter I went to the pint jar (actually a 1.5 pint jar) which would have doubled the habanero concentration over the half-pint jar. Wow, a good kick! If I actually had a cold, that would have opened my sinuses right away. I do have some other, more general comments which I will put in later. I did have a small jar go bad, and I want to explain what I think went wrong, so that others can know what to look for.
I was given some honey from a guy at work, but didnt really touch it. I found a huge puddle of it stuck to my counter, so I thought my cat was getting into it. Turns out, its real honey that, news to me uears ago, solidifies/crystalizes. I learned to read the labels, where they're from, and if theyre semi-solid.
I've been fermenting veggies (mostly peppers for hot sauce) for a couple of years now and am wondering if there's any reason an airlock or any type of vented fermentation lid couldn't be used with this recipe? Also, does anyone have any experience with fermenting hot peppers in honey? Peppers have a much higher liquid content and would probably result in a much more watery finished product but I have to think that the combination would produce some killer hot/sweet peppers. Thanks for sharing the info!
I haven't tried either. sorry
One video, the man used self burping lids, no problem!
I am about to test this with a fermemtation lock, I think it might be easier for most people to get hold of normal jars
Good mixture the more t u e better
I put purple onion in it and some fresh oregano in it to. Great stuff ❤
So can you take this daily like a vitamin? Do you separate the honey from the garlic or do you use them at the same time?
You can take it daily. Everything about it is good for you.
How much do you take?
I've been doing this for a long time very few cold's less severe symptoms, I am 67 a smoker no covid shot's never had it. Need to get my diet right & shrink my prostate
Nice. Keep working on your health.
But is this actual "fermentation"?
I ask because the super saturated sugar in honey would be a hindrance to bacterial fermentation. I mean honey was (& is) used as a wound covering because it inhibits bacterial growth, right?
This super saturated state is why recognizable honey has been found undegraded in ancient burial sites.
If this garlic/honey mix actually fermented then wouldn't bacteria "eat" some of the honey and produce acidic by-products that actually do the pickling which is characteristic of fermentation?
Aren't we actually just seeing the juices in the garlic being "pulled" out by the hydroscopic properties of super saturated sugars and creating a compound?
Well, whatever is actually going on I say if it works then carry on!
My understanding is that it is a yeast fermentation. Similar to making mead, but mead is a yeast to alcohol fermentation. Honey ferments when the water content rises above 21% (I believe that’s the percentage). If you do not add material with enough water content it simply becomes an infusion. With higher water content fermentation begins. Sometimes honey ferments on its own, but in these instances the moisture is added purposefully to kickstart the process.

It’s really an infusion
I brush the yummy garlic honey on salmon after crispened filets with olive oil. Tasted just like our favorite restaurant !
Sounds great!
Yes I do, my wife hates garlic. She’s a hard headed woman. She rather us get deadly sick for 2 weeks rather then eat some raw honey….
is it okay if i don't close my jar properly? Because I didn't check it properly, I didn't notice that my jar wasn't closed properly. can it still be used or should I throw it away?😢
It should be fine. If you didn’t close it properly, how did you turn it to coat the garlic?
I use this , but I add one fresh lemon and olive oil, garlic, raw honey mix well and keep in fridge....
We have the best local raw honey where I live. Can't wait to try this! Made my mouth water just watching the video!
Awesome!
I made a mix of ginger pieces, honey & garlic when me & my son caught covid & knocked it out quickly we would take a tablespoon daily
Awesome!
Wish I saw this video before I went ahead with it. Never mind. Next batch I’ll do exactly what’s been said in this video. Thanks!
Then "fermented" garlic/honey is great as a salad dressing just add little Balsamic vinegar.
Absolutely
I started mine @ 2 weeks ago and I tried one this morning and man! I need to wait longer 😂 it was soooooo strong! My throat is sore from it I guess 🤷🏽♀️. I’ll try again gin later lol
It is supposed to be strong. That is how you know it's working.
Love this! Quick question though! I know you said botulism cant grow in honey, but why is there a concern for infants consuming honey and potential botulism?
Thanks. This is from the CDC...botulism bacteria and toxins are two different things.
"Most infant botulism cases cannot be prevented because the bacteria that causes the disease is in soil and dust. The bacteria can be found inside homes on floors, carpet, and countertops-even after cleaning. For almost all children and adults who are healthy, ingesting botulism spores is not dangerous and will not cause botulism (it’s the toxin that is dangerous). For reasons we do not understand, some infants get botulism when the spores get into their digestive tracts, grow, and produce the toxin.Honey can contain the bacteria that causes infant botulism, so do not feed honey to children younger than 12 months. Honey is safe for people 1 year of age and older."
Hope this helps.
Doin this tonight👍🏽 never tried before
I just watched your videos on honey fermented garlic and medicinal plants. They were very informative and well produced. I’m a new subscriber
Thank you. I appreciate it!
Tumeric needs fat for being absorbed well ,how about warm milk ,or other like coco UT oil. The peppermint does increase absorption but it needs fat also. I use warm milk with the tumeric ,pepper and honey.😊
Can you use a vacuum sealer? ❤ thanks for the great video ❣️🫶
You're welcome. No need to use a vacuum sealer as you will be probably opening the jar every day.
I asked that too, and if we did use a vacuum sealer do we need to still ferment?
Typo... VACUUM SEALING : If we use a vacuum sealed do we still need to burp each day for 2 weeks, or should we not vacuum seal because we must burp for 3 weeks @countrylivingexperience. Ty so much
Thank you for sharing is this good for colon cancer

Very helpful way to preserve garlic thank you.
You're welcome
Very interesting nice to know the type of bacteria cause fermentation before and after adding honey
Iam intersted in food microbiolgy can u help
We have in sudan fermented foods many this healthy
The only one I know of is lactobacillus which probably comes from the garlic initially.
wow,luv this,,gorra try that one...cheers mucker
You’re welcome
Have you ever added cut pieces of ginger in your fermented garlic? I read that it is pretty good.
I haven't done that yet but it would be good.
Ok thanks for your video.
Just one question: how to eat this fermented garlic ? A tea sooon everyday ? Morning, evening, empty stomach etc ? Thanks
You can take a teaspoon a day for maintenance. If You are sick, take as much as you need to feel better.
Dr. Axe, in his book "Eat Dirt," mentions how local honey helps combat allergies as the properties are in your specific environment.
Can you keep ONION and honey mixture out on the counter also like garlic?
And how will I know what's your answer will be? Where do I find the answers to the questions on this site?
No. You have to keep the onion and honey in the refrigerator.
Works really good
May I suggest using a wooden spoon vs a mental spoon when dealing with honey the metal kills enzymes
Thanks but that is partially an old wives tale. Stainless steel will not react with the hone. Other metal alloy spoons will but you need to leave it in the honey for a long time.
Great vedio.
I have organic creamy honey.. can I use it.

I just found your video; thank you for the excellent and detailed information. How much Cayane pepper would you add to a jar like the one in your video, please?
You’re welcome.
Since everyone has a different heat/spice tolerance, you will have to experiment. I would say start with 1/4 tsp.
