- Juice of 1 lemon 🍋 (optional but recommended)
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (optional)
🔪 Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients
🧄 Garlic:
- Peel all garlic cloves
- Crush or finely chop them
👉 Crushing releases more beneficial compounds (like allicin).

- Grate it finely
👉 Fresh ginger gives stronger effect than powder.
🥣 Step 2: Mixing
In a clean bowl:
- Add crushed garlic
- Add grated ginger
- Pour honey over the mixture
- Add lemon juice and turmeric (optional)
Mix everything well until fully combined.
🫙 Step 3: Storing
- Transfer mixture into a clean glass jar
- Close tightly
Let it sit at room temperature for:
- 24–48 hours
Then store in:
- Refrigerator for longer shelf life
⏳ Step 4: Fermentation (Optional but Powerful)
If you leave it for a few days:
- The mixture becomes slightly fermented
- Flavor becomes stronger
- Health benefits increase
👉 You may notice bubbles—this is normal.
