The Important Step Most People Skip
Many people prepare garlic incorrectly.
After crushing or finely chopping fresh garlic, allow it to rest for about 10 minutes before mixing it with lemon juice or water.
This waiting period gives the natural enzyme reactions time to produce allicin.
Skipping this short resting period may reduce the amount of allicin that forms naturally.

Avoid This Common Preparation Mistake
