Notes
Note: I originally made this with whole garlic cloves. However, eating the whole clove of garlic was not... delicious. Slicing them makes it much more practical.
Recent knowledge bomb: it turns out that the darker the honey the more healing it is (said by a bee farm I went too!). If at all possible, get a buckwheat based honey or a darker blend.
