There is a patented (in the US) method which involves misting and holding the garlic at exact temperatures to make the stuff you buy online or in the stores. However, you can make it at home much easier. I'm currently testing different ways to make it, but generally all you have to do is keep in the moisture and keep it at 140-150 degrees (F) for 30 days. Two ways I've heard of, though there are tons, are to use a rice cooker with a sealed lid (aroma makes them) and keep it on keep warm for 30 days. The other way is to get a temperature controller, and use a slow cooker and plastic wrap (this is the only way i've seen work) to keep it at 140-150 for 30 days. I have a kickstarter to discover which methods are the best and will, if it is funded, share the best way online (and i'll update this answer).
