Step 2: Mix with Lemon and Honey
- In a mug, add the crushed garlic, lemon juice, and raw honey.
- Stir well to combine.
Step 3: Add Warm Water
- Heat up one cup of water until it’s warm but not boiling (boiling water can destroy some of the beneficial properties of honey).
- Pour it over the mixture and stir until the honey is fully dissolved.
Step 4: Drink It Slowly
- Sip the mixture slowly, letting it coat your throat.
- For best results, drink it 2–3 times a day, especially in the morning and before bed.
