The weather here in the East Bay Area keeps changing and people are susceptible to falling sick when the temperatures fluctuate as they have been.  Here is a recipe for a Garlic Oxymel – this is a great immune booster to take at the first signs of a cold or flu.

Needed: At least 1 bulb of garlic, Local honey*, Apple Cider Vinegar, Water.

Instructions:

• Peel garlic cloves and cut in half.
• Boil garlic in 4 cups of water until translucent.
• Remove water from stove.
• Add 1/4 cup of honey.
• Add 1/4 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar.
• Mix well.

Drink 1/3 to 1/2 cup of warm liquid, two to three times a day, eating at least 2 cloves of the cooked garlic with each serving. Oxymel may be kept covered in the refrigerator for 4 weeks.

*do not give honey to children under 1 year old.
