Introduction

Natural wellness drinks are gaining popularity as people look for simple ways to support overall health. One blend that’s drawing interest combines ginger, lemon, and garlic—three ingredients long valued in traditional food cultures. While this tonic is not a medical treatment, it’s often enjoyed as part of a balanced lifestyle that supports circulation, immunity, and general eye vitality. Its warming, zesty flavor makes it especially appealing during cooler months.

Ingredients

1 cup water

1-inch piece of fresh ginger, sliced or lightly crushed

1 small garlic clove, crushed

Juice of ½ fresh lemon

1 teaspoon raw honey (optional)

Instructions

Bring the water to a gentle boil in a small saucepan.

Add the ginger and garlic, then reduce heat and simmer for 8–10 minutes.

Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Strain into a cup and stir in fresh lemon juice.

Add honey if desired, mixing until dissolved.

Serving and Storage Tips

Drink warm for a soothing experience, preferably in the morning or early evening.

For best flavor and freshness, prepare one serving at a time.

If needed, the strained liquid (without lemon) can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; add lemon just before drinking.
