🍯🍋 Lemon, Garlic, and Honey Elixir: One Homemade Syrup for 20+ Health Problems

Description

This powerful elixir combines three natural superfoods—lemon, garlic, and honey—into a homemade syrup that has been used in traditional remedies for centuries. Together, they form a potent immune-boosting tonic that supports heart health, digestion, detoxification, and overall vitality. A spoonful a day can help reduce inflammation, fight infections, lower cholesterol, improve energy levels, and even support respiratory wellness.

Ingredients

  • 10 cloves fresh garlic (peeled and crushed)

  • 2 large lemons (organic, sliced with peel)

  • 1 cup raw honey (preferably unprocessed)

  • 1 cup warm water (not boiling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: Peel and crush the garlic cloves. Slice the lemons thinly (keep peel on for extra benefits).

  2. Blend: Add garlic, lemon slices, and warm water to a blender. Blend until smooth.

  3. Strain: Pass the mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into a clean glass jar.

  4. Add honey: Stir in raw honey until fully dissolved.

  5. Store: Keep in a sterilized glass jar, sealed tightly, in the refrigerator. Allow it to sit for at least 24 hours before using to enhance potency.

How to Use

  • Take 1 tablespoon daily on an empty stomach.

  • For colds, cough, or flu: take 1 tablespoon, 2–3 times a day.

  • Can be diluted in warm water or herbal tea if desired.

Notes

  • Use organic ingredients for maximum health benefits.

  • Avoid heating honey over 40°C (104°F), as high heat destroys beneficial enzymes.

  • Store in the fridge and use within 2–3 weeks.

  • The taste is strong—dilution with warm water makes it more palatable.

Tips

  • For extra power, add 1 tsp grated ginger before blending.

  • To make it kid-friendly, mix the syrup in warm herbal tea instead of giving directly.

  • Shake the jar well before each use.

  • If you don’t like garlic chunks, strain well before storage.

Makes about 2 cups (480 ml) of syrup, enough for 25–30 doses.
