Garlic keeps the vampires away

Garlic is delicious and nutritious. It’s good for the body and used in many home remedies. Just search for the health benefits of garlic in your favourite search engine. I always like to keep garlic in concetrated form for cooking or other uses.

Multipurpose concentrated garlic

30-50 peeled garlic cloves
white distilled vinegar

This is prepared the same way as sofrito. Add the peeled garlic cloves to the blender or food processor with a few tablespoons of vinegar. The vinegar is to allow an even blend. Don’t use too much liquid, you want a concentrated batch.

Once you have an even blend, pour mixture in a container and refrigerate. Any recipe that requires sofrito you can add a tablespoon of concentrated garlic for more flavour.

This concentrate is great…

for ant and mosquito bites, apply on bite after washing skin.
with butter and parsley to make garlic bread.
in home made pasta sauce.
for a cough remedy, mix a teaspoon of the garlic with honey and add boiling water, drink as tea.
in an omelette and much more.
