Medicinal Pickled Garlic

How To Make Medicinal Pickled Garlic
Garlic is an incredibly potent natural product that can be used for:
  • Treating colds and flu
  • Soothing sore throats
  • Improving sluggish digestion
It is also a powerful antiseptic, antibacterial and antimicrobial agent capable of treating all sorts of infections.
This pickled garlic is a powerful healing medicine that doesn’t possess the harsh taste you’d get with biting into raw garlic.
This recipe comes from Rosemary Glastar’s book “Rosemary Gladstar’s Medicinal Herbs: A Beginners Guide”. 
Ingredients:
Peeled garlic cloves
Apple Cider Vinegar
Raw Local Honey
Fill a mason jar with the cloves and cover them with apple cider vinegar.  Place in a warm but dark place for 3-4 weeks.  I like to put my jars in a paper bag and then place them in the sun.
After a few weeks, strain the liquid and set aside.
Using half the liquid, place it in a small saucepan over very low heat and add the honey until fully incorporated.
Pour this back over the garlic and allow to sit for another 3 weeks in a cool dark place, like your pantry.
You can eat a clove of the garlic whenever you wish, but for treating cold or flu, you should eat about 3-5 cloves a day.

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
