Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 garlic large clove, or two small ones
  • 2-3 teaspoon honey
  • ½ lime add full lime if desired

Instructions

  1. Using a kettle or small saucepan, bring water to a boil.
  2. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 4-5 minutes.
  3. Peel garlic clove and crush with a garlic press or mince finely. Add to a mug.
  4. Fill the mug with the hot water.
  5. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the garlic to steep.
  6. Add honey and juice of half a lime.
  7. Stir to dissolve honey.
  8. Enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Use hot water that is not boiling. Boiling water is not recommended as it can actually decrease the beneficial value of the ingredients in the tea.
  • You can leave the garlic in the tea and, if you don't mind the taste, you can actually drink some of the pieces to get more of the effects of the garlic. For a milder flavor, you can also strain the tea to remove the garlic pieces.
  • Please note that while garlic tea has been traditionally used for its potential health benefits, individual experiences may vary. It is always best to consult with your doctor before trying anything, especially with small children.
