Equipment

  • Saucepan – for boiling water

Ingredients
  

  • garlic
  • 2 cups water
  • lemon
  • honey – for sweetness
  • mug

Instructions
 

  • Peel 4-5 cloves of fresh garlic. Slice them into smaller pieces or crush them using a garlic press or the back of a knife.
  • Put 2 cups of water to boil in a saucepan.
  • Add the freshly cut garlic to the saucepan to boil. Boil for 5 minutes, then turn off the stove.
  • Let the garlic steep for a few minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger the tea will be.
  • After steeping, strain the garlic tea into a cup to remove the garlic solids. You can also opt to keep some of the clove, which is what I did.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a teaspoon of honey to your garlic tea for a tangy and sweet flavor.
