olav I'm a gardener and in this video
I'm talking about
garlic honey infusion for better health
now folks if you've been watching my
videos you'll know that I'm a strong
believer in that gardening and good
health are closely linked in other words
they go together and in this video I'm
going to show you a mixture that I make
and I take it swallow it and I believe
it helps to keep me healthier now some
of you may know I'm 80 years old and you
see me out there working in my garden
growing lots of vegetables candy and
what I grow and cooking some pretty good
meals usually those things that I have
can now I'm not a doctor so I can't tell
you what this will do for you in terms
of health but you can google that and
you can find lots of information how
beneficial this mixture that I'm going
to show you is for your health now that
it's very easy to make you probably have
the ingredients in your kitchen right
now and it tastes very good too
doesn't taste bad as you might think it
would so now if you're new to my videos

I appreciate your comments and from the
standpoint of the YouTube channel they
like to see comments because they know
that that means it's a video that is of
interest to the people so let's get on
with this video
boots will come out right there so let's
get it in
you
now one of the biggest problems here is
peeling the garlic and so you see me
putting it into one of those gallon food
storage bags just a plastic bag and I'm
going to pound it with a meat
tenderizing hammer but I'm only going to
use the side part of it and you'll see
that it contains or the bag holds all of
anything it might be splattering from
the garlic as I hammer it and in also
it's going to contain the peelings and
that's going to make it a lot easier to
get it to the stage we wanted
the reason I'm crushing this garlic is
so that it will absorb the honey or
infuse much quicker if you put a whole
clove of garlic in this jar of honey it
will be probably months before they will
be ready for you to eat and by crushing
it and going ahead and cutting it in
smaller pieces as you're going to see me
doing it will infuse with honey much
quicker in about 20 days it'll be ready
to eat
you
now I recommend you use organic honey if
you can get it but if you can't get
organic be sure to use only pure raw
honey
if you're using this kind of lid then at
least one time of day you need to open
it a little bit like that to let the
pressure out and then you can tighten it
back down okay and that's called burping
it
you gotta burp it if you're gonna use
this kind of lid but I'm going to show
you a different kind of lid like this is
a lid here and this one will burp itself
whole nice waterless fermentation lids I
didn't I didn't design it and I didn't
choose the color but here's another
color so don't say nothing okay so what
you see is this spot right here
I'll get it where I can see it has a
little slit in it and that allows the
pressure in the jar whether you're
making crouched or whether you're making
honey garlic as I'm doing here it allows
the pressure to come out there and then
it reseals itself now we'll put a link
to this where we could buy it down in
the description box
you
now once you mix this up put their thing
in the jar about once a day maybe twice
a day you need to come in and shake it
shake it up good what that does is it
helps get the garlic all around in the
honey now you notice that it moves and
shakes pretty good now and when I was
first when I first put it in the jar and
I was trying to stir it with that
chopstick it was very stiff so what's
happening is the the honey is I mean the
the honey has pull in the juice or the
liquid out of the garlic and mixing it
with the honey making it thin so that's
what you get and as long as it's
infusing which takes about 20 days you
can keep it sitting on a kitchen counter
after 20 days we're just getting ready
to use you change out Julia but you
differently I remember I talked about
that plastic lid and put it in a
refrigerator then every day you take
something I'll show you that in a minute
you
all right so here is our garlic and
honey mixture basically it's honey
infused garlic what it is so here's how
we gon dose it just right go eating
spoon and you'll get a couple pieces
like that why not drop it on floor and
then you just go in and chew it up
it's pretty good so good sweet doesn't
have the hotness that garlic has the
honey mellows the garlic now in addition
to eating the garlic the the honey
liquid is is also good for you so you
can get you some of that like that good
stuff this really good stuff I'll spend
some other time talking about the health
benefits of this yeah hi here we go I
wish I could share this with you I wish
I could give you some that you take it
for I think two days and you'll notice
the differs just two days take some
before you go to bed to make you sleep
super good
you
