Print Recipe

This homemade roasted garlic honey is a comforting cold remedy that combines caramelized garlic with raw honey for a sweet, savory elixir. Perfect for tea, toast, or taking by the spoonful when you need immune support.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 whole heads of garlic
  • 1 cup raw honey
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel away the loose, papery outer layers from each head of garlic, leaving the cloves intact and connected at the root.
  2. Cut about 1/4 inch off the top of each garlic head to expose the individual cloves.
  3. Place the garlic heads cut-side up in a small baking dish. Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil over each exposed top and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
  4. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and roast for 40-45 minutes, until the cloves are soft, golden, and easily pierced with a knife.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 15-20 minutes.
  6. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins. Discard the skins and place the soft cloves in a small saucepan.
  7. Add the honey to the saucepan and warm over the lowest possible heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently. Do not overheat.
  8. Mash the garlic into the honey using a fork or the back of a spoon. If using herbs or red pepper flakes, stir them in now.
  9. Pour the mixture into a clean glass jar and let it cool completely before sealing. Store in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator.

Notes

Don’t rush the roasting; under-roasted garlic will be sharp. Watch honey temperature to preserve beneficial enzymes. Let garlic cool completely before handling. Use a glass jar for storage. Label with date. Flavor improves after a week.
