Ingredients
1 Whole Lemon, thoroughly washed and sliced into rounds

3–4 Cloves of Fresh Garlic, peeled and smashed

1 Large Piece of Fresh Ginger Root (about 2–3 inches), washed and sliced

1–2 Whole Cinnamon SticksFruits & Vegetables

4 Cups Filtered Water

Optional finish: 1–2 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup to balance the intense flavors.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Activate the Garlic: Smash your peeled garlic cloves with the flat side of a chef’s knife and let them sit on your cutting board for 5 to 10 minutes before cooking. (This resting period activates allicin, the primary compound responsible for garlic’s wellness benefits).Gardening

Simmer the Aromatics: In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sliced ginger, smashed garlic cloves, and cinnamon sticks. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes.

Add the Citrus: Remove the pan from the heat. Drop the fresh lemon slices directly into the hot liquid, replace the lid, and let the mixture steep for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Steeping the lemon off the direct heat prevents the vitamin C from breaking down and keeps the rind from making the tea overly bitter.

Strain and Sweeten: Pour the infusion through a fine-mesh strainer into a teapot or large glass jar, discarding the spent pieces of garlic, ginger, lemon, and cinnamon. Stir in raw honey to taste while the liquid is warm.Garlic
