Q: Can I use powdered cloves instead of whole?
A: Whole cloves work best because they infuse slowly and don’t cloud the honey, but a tiny pinch of ground cloves will work in a pinch.
Q: How long does the mixture last?
A: When stored properly in the refrigerator, it can last several months. Always use a clean spoon to avoid contamination.
Q: Can I eat the garlic cloves themselves?
A: Absolutely! They become slightly sweet and mellow as they sit in the honey.
Q: Is this mixture safe for children?
A: Avoid giving honey to children under one year old. For older children, small amounts are generally safe, but check with a healthcare provider if unsure.
Q: Can I cook with this, or does heat ruin the benefits?
A: You can cook with it. High heat may reduce some natural properties, but the flavor remains excellent.
