Ingredients:
1 cup of whole milk (or your preferred milk alternative)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped or smashed
1 small pinch of salt (optional, to taste)
A dash of black pepper (optional)
1 teaspoon of honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
Instructions:
Prepare the Garlic: Start by peeling and finely chopping or smashing two garlic cloves. The more finely you chop or smash the garlic, the more potent the flavor infusion will be.
Heat the Milk: Pour the milk into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Keep an eye on it, as milk can boil over quickly.
Infuse the Garlic: Once the milk is boiling, add the prepared garlic to the pan. Stir gently to make sure the garlic is evenly distributed throughout the milk.
Simmer for Flavor: Reduce the heat and allow the milk to simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes. This will allow the garlic to infuse the milk with its rich flavor without becoming too overpowering.
Add Seasoning: At this point, you can add a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper to enhance the flavor. If you prefer a slightly sweeter taste, you can also add a teaspoon of honey.
Serve: Remove from heat and carefully pour the garlic-infused milk into a mug or small bowl. It’s now ready to enjoy!
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving Suggestions: Serve your garlic-infused milk on its own as a soothing beverage or use it as a base for soups and sauces. It pairs wonderfully with rustic breads or can be enjoyed as an evening drink to help calm the mind.
Storage: If you have any leftovers, store the garlic-infused milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can be kept for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
