Step 1

Once your garlic is peeled add the raw cloves to a mason jar so they are 1 inch from the top.

Step 2

Prepare a salt brine by dissolving salt in water.

Step 3

Pour brine into the mason jar until the garlic cloves are covered.

Step 4

Optional: add any additional flavourings such as pickling spices or fresh oregano or basil.

Step 5

Put the lid on the jar and store at room temperature in a dark place like your closet or cupboard.

Step 6

Open the jar once a day to release carbon dioxide. Fermentation fans call this "burping."

Step 7

Continue this process for 3-4 weeks until fermentation bubbles no longer form.

Step 8

Move the jar to your fridge once fermentation has completed. Fermented garlic gets more delicious as it ages!
