Benefits of Garlic Tonic

I put the garlic tonic I made last spring to the test today. I’m laid low with a febrile cold and was prompted to eat plenty of garlic to get healthy. I had forgotten about the tonic I had stashed away in the pantry, but Tod hadn’t.
I poured myself a shot and drank it at lunchtime. It tasted just like medicine; I’m sure it will do me some good.
Tod says that I will be “too stinky to be fit for cohabitation” so it’s a good thing he’s soon out the door to work. Perhaps I will be less garlic-scented when he comes home, but I suspect not. I plan to have some more tonic after my nap.
