1 small, fresh, firm clove of garlic
250 milliliters of drinking water
Optional: a few drops of lemon, if your stomach allows it
Optional: half a teaspoon of honey, if there are no problems with sugar
Make sure to choose garlic cloves that don’t have soft sprouts or blemishes. Peel the clove and wash it thoroughly before use. Avoid garlic powder and garlic essential oil, as their properties can differ. Don’t combine garlic with vinegar, baking soda, and lemon at the same time, as this can cause stomach upset.
How to Prepare Garlic Water
To prepare your garlic water, follow these simple steps:
Lightly crush the garlic clove or cut it in half to release its aroma, taking care not to puree it if you are sensitive to garlic.
Place the tooth in a glass of drinking water.
Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature.
Do not boil garlic in water, as this will alter its properties and not make it more effective.
