Some people love garlic and some people hate it. With this simple technique you can convert an ordinary candle into a garlic scented one instantly. What better way to do a scientific garlic tolerance experiment at a party.
Garlic oil is easiest to find in health food shops in the form of gel capsules. I got mine at Holland and Barrett, but even dollar store type shops sell them, and often at the same strength. Ignore the 1000mg bit of Holland and Barretts packaging. In the small print on the back it concedes that it's actually only 2mg of concentrated garlic oil in 998mg of soya bean oil!
You can conceal a capsule or two in your pocket and then surreptitiously nip the end of one with your teeth (you only need to pierce it) and then squeeze the stinky garlic oil out into the melted pool of wax in a nearby candle. In due course a strong garlic aroma will permeate the room.
This technique can also be used by garlic lovers to convert ordinary tea lights into savoury smelling garlic ones.
I strongly advise against doing this at vampire parties as it tends to spoil the night a bit.

Just in case the I laws come to visit I suppose!
Does this work with fish oils me wonders?
This is hilarious!
Make an onion candle to go with it and you have "Italian kitchen" candles.
My mother actually would have liked it.
I wish I knew more people who liked candles, just so I could do this.
Ooh! Even better variant: pour a candle with a little hollow in the middle. Fill the hollow with garlic oil. Pour the rest of the candle. Give to a friend. Midway through the candle, surprise garlic!
Hmmm… Cod liver oil in next year's "Secret Santa" gift…
Garlic candles – good for keeping vampires away???
My friends are going to hate me when i do this 🙂 worth it
