🥄 Ingredients
- 1 fresh lemon
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- ÂĽ small onion, finely grated or very finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 2–3 tablespoons warm water
🍋 How to Make It
1. Prepare the ingredients
Wash the lemon, ginger, onion, and garlic thoroughly. Peel the garlic and ginger, then mince the garlic and grate the ginger and onion as finely as possible.
2. Add the lemon
Squeeze the juice from one fresh lemon into a clean glass or small bowl. Remove any seeds.
3. Combine everything
Add the minced garlic, grated onion, grated ginger, and honey. Stir well.
4. Add warm water
Pour in 2–3 tablespoons of warm—not boiling—water and mix until the honey is incorporated.
5. Let it rest
For a stronger flavor, cover the mixture and let it sit for about 10–15 minutes before using.
🥄 How to Use It
A common home-remedy approach is to take 1 teaspoon of the mixture once a day.
Because the ingredients are quite strong and acidic, it’s best to see how your body reacts rather than assuming that taking more will provide greater benefits.
You can also dilute one teaspoon in a cup of warm water if the flavor is too intense.
