If the garlic is too strong, start with half a clove or let it infuse for a minute, then strain before drinking.

You can make a larger batch by infusing garlic and lemon slices in warm water, then storing it in the fridge for 2 days max.

Best taken consistently — not a one-time magic fix, but awesome daily.
