Instruction manual
1
There is a simple, but quite effective, tool. The fact is that most of the "guilt" for an unpleasant smell lies on the core that is in every clove of garlic. If, before cooking, carefully cut the garlic along and pull out the core, after eating this plant the smell from the mouth will eventually become much weaker.
2
However, the smell will still be quite distinguishable. Therefore, it is better to “muffle” it by eating a product with a strong and persistent aroma. Parsley is considered a good remedy. Having eaten several branches of this green (especially if it is juicy), you can "mask" the smell of garlic. You can also chew bay leaf; Of course, its taste is rather unpleasant, but it eliminates the smell quite well.
3
If there is no fresh parsley or bay leaf on hand, chew a thin slice of lemon. Its juice also muffles garlic aroma well. Lime is even more effective for this purpose.
4
Well, what if the person does not tolerate the sour juice of lemon or lime? For example, he has diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Then rinse your mouth with some milk, preferably fresh milk.
5
Some people argue that the best way to drown out the unpleasant smell of garlic is to carefully gnaw the roasted coffee beans. Indeed, the aroma of coffee is so strong and characteristic that the smell of garlic is unlikely to appear on its background.
6
As a last resort, you can resort to the help of chewing gum with a strong "fragrance", for example, with mint or menthol. For some time, it will drown out the garlic smell, but remember that in half an hour the smell will return again.
7
Remember the old proven way. If you really want to eat garlic, but at the same time avoid bad breath, you can swallow whole cloves without chewing them.
