🥣 Ingredients You’ll Need
1 large red onion
2 tablespoons of natural honey
1 cup of water
A small pinch of ground ginger (optional, for extra warmth)
🍵 Step-by-Step Instructions
Peel and slice the onion into thin pieces.
Place the onion slices in a small pot with one cup of water.
Bring to a gentle simmer and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, until the liquid carries the onion’s aroma.
Strain the mixture into a mug, removing the onion pieces.
Stir in the honey while the liquid is still warm (but not boiling).
(Optional) Add a tiny pinch of ginger for a warming boost.
Sip slowly, ideally twice a day, wrapped in a cozy blanket.
