for drink.
Drink use of garlic powder is minimal — an eighth teaspoon stirred into 250ml hot water with honey and lemon dissolves in 15 seconds at 90°C without sediment, unlike a crushed clove which leaves fibrous residue. The flavor reads as mellow savory warmth rather than the sharper medicinal bite of fresh steeped garlic. Substitutes below are few and judged by whether they dissolve cleanly into hot liquid, deliver savory or spicy warmth, and work alongside honey or citrus.

adjustment for drink
Fresh garlic at 1 clove per 1/8 teaspoon powder in hot honey-lemon tonic steeps 10 minutes at 90°C to mellow sulfur. Leaves fibrous sediment powder avoids; strain before drinking. Sharper medicinal read than powder — intentional in traditional cold-and-flu drinks.
