par

  1. Boil the water: In a small pot, add the 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil over medium heat.

  2. Add the ingredients: Once the water is boiling, add the crushed garlic, turmeric, sliced onion (if using), ginger, cinnamon stick, and guava leaves. Stir well to combine.

  3. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to infuse and the nutrients to be extracted from the ingredients.

  4. Strain the tea: After simmering, strain the tea into a cup to remove the solid pieces.

  5. Sweeten to taste: If you’d like, you can add a spoonful of honey or a splash of lemon to sweeten and brighten the flavor. Stir well.

  6. Serve and enjoy: Drink the tea warm, first thing in the morning to boost your energy or after dinner to aid in digestion and promote relaxation.
