The Powerful Health Benefits of Onions Full article
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Boil the Botanicals: In a small saucepan, combine the water, chopped onion chunks, sliced ginger, and the cinnamon stick.
- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer gently for 12 to 15 minutes. This draws out all the immune-boosting quercetin and sulfur compounds from the onion.
- Strain: Turn off the heat. Pour the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer directly into your favorite mug, discarding the boiled onion and spice pieces.
- Sweeten and Soothe: Allow the tea to cool down slightly so it isn’t boiling hot (to preserve the natural enzymes of the honey), then stir in your raw honey and a squeeze of fresh lemon.
💡 Don’t Worry about the Taste! Thanks to the ginger, cinnamon, and honey, this tea tastes wonderfully warming, sweet, and comforting—not like a bowl of onion soup at all! Drink it warm before bed to soothe a nighttime cough and help detoxify your system. 🛌✨
