Peel the garlic and rinse thoroughly under clean water. Drain using a colander to remove excess moisture.

Arrange the rinsed garlic evenly on a steaming rack, making sure not to overlap.

Close the steamer lid and steam over high heat for 10 minutes until the garlic is tender.

After 10 minutes, turn off the heat and let it sit with the lid closed for an additional 5 minutes to finish steaming.

Remove the steamed garlic and spread it out flat on a kitchen towel. Let it cool completely while gently wiping away surface moisture.

Place the sealed container in the microwave and heat for 2 minutes to sterilize and dry it quickly.

Transfer the cooled garlic into the sterilized container and pack it tightly. Pour in honey until the garlic is fully submerged. Your pickle is now ready.

Steam peeled and rinsed garlic in a hot steamer for 10 minutes, then let it rest for 5 minutes.
Cool the steamed garlic completely on a kitchen towel, removing all surface moisture.
Place the garlic in a sterilized container and fill with honey until fully covered.

Cooking tips

Eating raw garlic may irritate your stomach depending on your constitution, so steaming it first to eliminate the sharpness is recommended.
If you find raw garlic too strong, steam it first and cool it well before marinating in honey.
The finished honey garlic can be eaten immediately, but letting it rest at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about a week will mellow the bite and greatly enhance the flavor.
Do not discard leftover honey after removing the garlic—use it as a seasoning in various dishes or mix it with warm water to enjoy as a soothing honey tea.
