Honey or lemon (optional, to taste)
Instructions
Heat water: Bring 1½ cups of water to a light simmer.
Add ingredients: Add garlic, ginger, cloves, and cinnamon.
Simmer: Let it gently simmer for 5–7 minutes to release the flavors.
Strain: Remove from heat and strain into a mug or jar.
Optional: Add honey or lemon for flavor.
Enjoy warm in the morning.
Notes
Crushing the garlic releases more aroma and flavor.
You can steep longer for a stronger-tasting infusion.
If you prefer no garlic flavor, reduce the amount to half a clove.
Ginger can be swapped for powdered ginger (¼ tsp).
Tips
Drink it warm, not boiling hot—more pleasant and easier on the stomach.
For a smoother flavor, add garlic for only the first 2 minutes, then remove it.
Make a larger batch by doubling or tripling the recipe and refrigerating for up to 24 hours.
