- 1 lb garlic peeled and rough end trimmed off
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup white vinegar
Place clean and peeled garlic in a clean jar that has a tight fitting lid.
In a pot over medium heat stir together water, soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar until well combined. Bring to a light boil until sugar completely dissolves.
Allow mixture to cool slightly then pour mixture into the jar over the peeled garlic until all of the garlic is fully submerged.
Close lid tightly and add date on the lid.
Store in a cool, dark place for at least 3 weeks. After 3 weeks garlic can be eaten, however the longer you allow it to sit the less of a garlic bite will be present.
Store in fridge for a few months.
