Garlic, Honey, & Apple Cider Vinegar Tonic

Prep time: 10 mins | Infusion time: 3–5 days

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Apple cider vinegar (preferably raw with “the mother”)

  • 1 cup Raw honey

  • 8–10 cloves Fresh garlic

Instructions

  1. Prep the Garlic: Peel the garlic cloves and crush or mince them. Let the crushed garlic sit for about 10 minutes before mixing; this activates allicin, the beneficial compound in garlic.

  2. Combine: In a glass jar, combine the garlic, honey, and apple cider vinegar.

  3. Mix: Stir or shake the jar vigorously for about 2 minutes until the honey and vinegar are well blended.

  4. Infuse: Seal the jar and store it in the refrigerator. Let it sit for at least 3 to 5 days to allow the flavors and properties to infuse.

  5. Consume: The standard suggestion is to take 1 to 2 tablespoons in the morning, often diluted in a glass of warm water.

Important Considerations

While these ingredients are staple pantry items with individual health benefits, it is important to keep a few things in mind:

  • Consult a Professional: Natural remedies should supplement, not replace, professional medical advice or prescribed treatments for conditions like high blood pressure, arthritis, or infections.

  • Acidity: Apple cider vinegar is highly acidic. Always dilute it in water to protect your tooth enamel and stomach lining.

  • Honey Safety: Never give honey to infants under one year old due to the risk of botulism.
