Garlic Oil

With Spring coming, but nasty coughs and colds sticking around, I decided to post on garlic oil. This is something that has been FANTASTIC for our family by boosting the immune system, great for ear infections, it's awesome! For extra pain relief, you could make mullein oil first and then make the garlic oil.

For one batch, you will need:

1/2 cup FRESH minced garlic
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup olive oil to be added later.

You will want to mix the first 2 ingredients well and then add in the other 1/4 cup of olive oil. This will fit perfectly into a half pint jar. Then we put it in the windowsill for 10 days. On the 10th day you can strain it and then put it in the fridge. You can strain it with paper towels, coffee filters, muslin, cheese cloth etc. You can then put it in the fridge. It will separate even more and then you can decant it and continue to store in fridge. If you have an ailment, you don't have to wait the full 10 days, but it gets stronger each day! We love this and rub it on our feet, put it in our ears, rub it on chests etc. Enjoy!
