Lemon, Garlic, and Honey Elixir Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6 large fresh garlic cloves (peeled and minced or finely chopped)

• 3 large organic lemons (washed and sliced thinly, seeds removed)

• 1 cup raw honey (preferably organic, unpasteurized)

Equipment:

• A clean glass jar with a tight-fitting lid (at least 16 oz capacity)

• A spoon or small whisk for mixing

• A fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth (optional, for straining)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the garlic:

   • Peel and mince the garlic cloves as finely as possible. Crushing the garlic slightly will also help release its beneficial compounds.

2. Slice the lemons:

   • Wash the lemons thoroughly.

   • Slice them thinly, removing any seeds to avoid bitterness.

3. Layer the ingredients:

   • In your clean glass jar, layer some lemon slices, then add some minced garlic on top.

   • Pour a little honey over the garlic.

   • Repeat this layering until all garlic and lemon slices are used up.

4. Combine and mix:

   • After layering, use a spoon or small whisk to gently stir everything together so the garlic and lemon are well coated with honey.

   • If the honey is too thick, you can slightly warm it (do not boil) to make it easier to mix.

5. Seal and store:

   • Close the jar tightly with the lid.

   • Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 2-3 days. This allows the lemon and garlic to infuse into the honey.

   • Shake or stir the jar gently once or twice a day.

6. Optional straining:

   • After 2-3 days, you can strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to separate the solids from the liquid syrup.

   • Store the strained syrup in a clean glass jar in the refrigerator.

   • Or keep it as is and just use a spoon to take the syrup, leaving the solids in the jar.

How to Use:

• Take 1 tablespoon of the elixir daily for general health maintenance.

• For colds or flu symptoms, take 1 tablespoon 2-3 times a day.

• Can be taken straight or diluted in warm water or tea.

Health Benefits:

This powerful combination works synergistically:

• Garlic: Antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, supports heart health and immunity.

• Lemon: Rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, supports digestion, detoxifies the liver.

• Honey: Soothes the throat, antimicrobial, promotes healing, provides energy.

Notes:

• Store the syrup in the refrigerator after the initial infusion period; it can last several weeks.

• Always use fresh, organic ingredients for best results.

• If you have allergies to any of these ingredients or are on medication (especially blood thinners), consult a healthcare provider before use.
