Ingredients

1 small clove of garlic, lightly crushed

1 thin slice of red or white onion

1–2 inches fresh ginger, sliced

½ teaspoon turmeric powder or a small piece of fresh turmeric

1 small cinnamon stick or ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder

3–5 guava leaves, rinsed (fresh or dried)

2 cups water

Honey or lemon (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the ingredients:
Lightly smash the garlic and ginger to release their natural oils. Rinse the guava leaves thoroughly.

Boil the water:
Bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil in a pot.

Add the aromatics:
Drop in the garlic, onion slice, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and guava leaves.

Simmer the tea:
Reduce the heat and allow the mixture to simmer for 10–12 minutes. This helps extract the flavors and beneficial compounds.

Strain and serve:
Remove from heat, strain into a cup, and sweeten with honey or brighten with lemon if desired.

Serving and Storage Tips

Best served warm, especially in the morning or after a heavy meal to support digestion.

If making a larger batch, store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and reheat gently before drinking.

Avoid boiling again once strained—reheat on low to preserve flavor and nutrients.
