Oregano Garlic Honey
A healing elixir with multiple antibacterial properties, best for the sick season, but also delicious in many recipes.
Equipment
- 1 clean jar with a lid a mason jar works
- 1 sharp knife or garlic press
- 1 wooden spoon or chipstick for stirring and releasing air bubbles
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw local honey
- 6-8 cloves garlic peeled and lightly smashed or cut in half
- 2-3 fresh sprigs of oregano OR 1 tbsp dried oregano
Instructions
- Lightly crush the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife to release their juices.
- Place the garlic and oregano in a clean glass jar.
- Pour honey over the top, making sure everything is submerged. Stir with a clean spoon or chopstick to remove air bubbles.
- Seal the jar and let it infuse at room temperature for 1–2 weeks, giving it a gentle turn every day or so.
- Taste after a week — if the flavor is strong enough, you can strain out the garlic and herbs, or leave them in for a more intense brew.
