Garlic Wine

I started a new bottle of garlic wine yesterday. Yum (not). I'm sure you already know the fantastic health benefits of garlic, so I won't go into that. The wine helps to draw out the properties, and makes a wonderful medicinal/preventative drink.

 I quarter the cloves of an entire bulb of garlic, and put them in the wine, and let it sit for at least 2 weeks. This gives it plenty of time to draw out the properties of the garlic. I use red wine.

 This time I also added cloves, for their wonderful anti-lotsofbadthings properties. Maybe it'll help the taste a little.

 Any time we feel a cold or something coming on, we have a small glass. It's a pretty handy medicine to have around.
