How to Make Garlic Juice?
You can make garlic juice quite easily at home, provided you have a decent amount of garlic and a bit of patience. So, juicing a kilogram at a time will yield roughly 2 cups of garlic juice.

Ingredients
1 kilogram of garlic
Recipe
- Step 1: Peel the skin of all the garlic cloves and wash them thoroughly.
- Step 2: Blend garlic cloves in a blender, or juicer for 2-3 minutes.
- Step 3: Strain the garlic pulp through a fine sieve. Slowly pour the garlic juice through a coffee filter.
- Step 4: Pour the juice into an ice cube tray to prevent oxidation and freeze.
Serving suggestion: When you want to use the garlic juice, simply pop out an ice cube and add it to shakes, smoothies, soup, or hot water (for a healthy gargle)
