GARLIC TEA RECIPE
Garlic tea might not be as popular as other herbal teas, but it's known for its potential health benefits, especially in supporting the immune system. Here's a simple garlic tea recipe:
- 2 cups water
- 3-4 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 1-2 teaspoons honey (optional)
- Lemon slices (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare Garlic:
- Peel and crush 3-4 garlic cloves. Crushing the garlic helps release its beneficial compounds.
2. Boil Water:
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan.
3. Add Garlic:
- Once the water is boiling, add the crushed garlic to the saucepan.
4. Simmer:
- Reduce the heat to low and let the garlic simmer in the water for about 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to infuse into the water.
5. Strain:
- After simmering, strain the tea to remove the garlic pieces. You can use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
6. Add Honey (Optional):
- If desired, add 1-2 teaspoons of honey to sweeten the tea. Stir until the honey is dissolved.
7. Serve:
- Pour the garlic tea into a cup and, if you like, add a slice of lemon for extra flavor.
8. Enjoy:
- Sip on the garlic tea while it's warm. Take your time to enjoy the flavors and potential health benefits.
Tips:
- Adjust the amount of garlic and honey to suit your taste preferences.
- You can also add other herbs or spices like ginger for additional flavor.
