Ear Drops - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 ounces olive oil
    3 -4 garlic cloves
Preparation
    Crush or mince garlic.
    Put it in a clean glass jar with lid.(Baby food jars are great)
    Leave it sitting on the counter and gently shake it every time you pass by for 4 or 5 hours.
    Strain off the oil and either discard the garlic solids or save them to use in a recipe.
    Put the oil in a dropper bottle.(Preferably glass).
    For use when having ear pain or sore throat: Put two or three drops of oil in each ear, twice a day, once in the morning and again at night.
    Place a cotton ball in the ear for a few minutes to absorb any excess oil.
    Keep oil in the refrigerator and warm gently rolling the bottle between your hands before using.
    NOTES:
    It gets slightly solidified in the refrigerator. More is NOT better.
    Ears need to be able to \"breathe\"/get oxygen.
    You should make fresh ear drops every two or three days. I keep mine three days -- I've never had a problem with \"spoilage\".
    You can make less if you will only be using it for one person.
