🌿 Introduction:

For centuries, traditional medicine has praised the combination of milk and garlic as a natural remedy for everything from colds to chronic fatigue. Though the idea may sound unusual, this powerful blend is a treasure trove of antioxidants, vitamins, and immune-boosting compounds. Garlic milk—made by simmering fresh garlic cloves in warm milk—offers a gentle yet potent way to detoxify your body, strengthen your heart, and improve digestion. Whether you’re looking to reduce inflammation or get better sleep, one cup a day can do wonders for your overall health.

🧈 Ingredients:

1 cup (250 ml) fresh cow’s or plant-based milk (almond, oat, or coconut)

3–4 fresh garlic cloves, peeled and slightly crushed

1 teaspoon honey or jaggery (optional, for sweetness)

A pinch of turmeric or black pepper (optional, for extra benefits)

🔥 Instructions:

Pour milk into a small saucepan and add the crushed garlic cloves.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Simmer for 5–7 minutes until the milk reduces slightly and absorbs the garlic’s aroma.

Strain the mixture to remove garlic pieces.

Add honey or jaggery if desired, and stir well.

Enjoy it warm—preferably on an empty stomach in the morning or before bedtime.

🍶 Serving and Storage Tips:

Serve fresh: Garlic milk is best consumed warm and freshly made.

Storage: If needed, store leftovers in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently before drinking.

Avoid overheating to preserve the nutrients and prevent the milk from curdling.
