Step 1

Place the peeled garlic cloves into a pint jar, leaving some space at the top so that a fermentation weight can be added.

Step 2

Make the brine by stirring the salt into the water until it dissolves.

Step 3

Pour the brine over the garlic, covering it completely.

Step 4

Put a fermentation weight on top of the garlic to keep it under the brine, then top the jar with a fermentation lid and airlock.

Step 5

Let the jar sit at room temperature for 2-3 weeks to ferment.
