To start, peel and finely chop the onion, and mince the garlic clove. These ingredients are hailed for their expectorant properties, meaning they can aid in breaking down mucus and clearing your airways. Next, layer the chopped onion and minced garlic in a clean jar, pouring the honey over them to ensure complete coverage. The honey acts as a base and solvent, drawing out the active compounds from the onion and garlic. Seal the jar tightly and allow it to infuse in a cool, dark place for 24-48 hours. During this time, the honey will merge with the onion and garlic, unlocking their beneficial properties. Once the infusion is complete, strain the mixture to remove the onion and garlic, leaving you with a thick, potent syrup. Store the syrup in the refrigerator where it will remain fresh for up to a month.
