Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Carol, Sounds excellent and easier to make than the one I know of, although this may be somewhat easier to take.. Garlic Syrup Place one pound of peeled, minced garlic in a wide-mouthed 2-qt jar. Almost fill the jar with equal parts apple cider vinegar and distilled water. Cover and let stand in a warm place for 4 days, shaking a few times each day. Add one cup of glycerin and let it stand another day. Strain and filter the mixture with pressure through a muslin or linen cloth. Add one cup of honey and stir until thoroughly mixed. Store in a cool place. Excellent for coughs, colds, sore throats, bronchial congestion, high or low blood pressure, heart weakness and nervous disorders. Dosage: one tablespoon three times daily, before meals. (I personally haven't experimented with these heavy-duty garlic remedies, because I seem to not tolerate much garlic. Maybe due to the inulin content? Not sure.) - >>A fellow grower at the farmers market had an interesting herbal remedy on display at his stand. It was Garlic in Honey. He sells the garlic. You take a jar (any size) and fill it with peeled garlic cloves, then cover the cloves with honey. Cover and let sit till the mix turns a dark brown. Take a clove when feeling ill. He swears by it for colds and the flu. I haven't had the time to try it yet but intend to make a jar. Carol K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
