Step 1: Prepare the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and crush them.
Let them rest for 10 minutes before mixing. This helps maximize the formation of allicin.

Stir thoroughly until evenly mixed.
Step 4: Store
Transfer the mixture to a clean glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Refrigerate for 5–7 days to allow the flavors to blend.
Step 5: Enjoy
After the mixture has rested:
- Take 1 teaspoon if you enjoy the flavor.
