Home Remedy for Cold: Garlic Tea For Quick Relief

Garlic Tea Fights ColdGarlic excels as an antibacterial and antiviral herb for cold, coughs and the flu.

For those who are not up to eating it raw, which tends to be absolutely the best way to consume it, an alternative comes in form of garlic tea which surprisingly has a pretty nice flavor.

Preparation does matter a lot, because when handled incorrectly, garlic does not release or loses allicin, the most beneficial compound.

Preparation Time

  • 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 5-6 cloves of garlic. When treating a child’s cold, use less garlic 2-3 as it may be too hot for them.
  • 2 cups of filtered water
  • Raw or pure honey
  • Juice of lemon

Steps

  • Peel the cloves.
  • Mince or press the cloves into a paste. This is important, as by chopping garlic more finely, more allicin is produced. Pressing garlic or mincing it into a smooth paste will give you the strongest flavor and may also result in an increased amount of allicin.Press Garlic For Most Benefits
  • Let the garlic sit for 15 minutes. This is important, otherwise the allicin will not get a chance to get released.
  • Bring the water to a boil. Lower the heat, and add the garlic paste. Lowering the heat to low or medium is important, otherwise allicin will be destroyed.
  • Simmer for another 10-12 minutes. Important: simmering over 15 min. will weaken and damage allicin.
  • Strain the garlic and allow the tea to cool to mouth temperature.
  • Add raw honey and lemon juice. Alternatively you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Drink it throughout the day.

Honey Apple Cider SyrupSuppress the appetite by taking the honey/apple cider vinegar syrup before meals.

Mix a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and a teaspoon of pure honey with a dash of cinnamon.

Take three times a day and sip slowly before each main meal.

Apple cider vinegar has acids and enzymes which will speed up the metabolism and process of burning fat in your body rather than storing it. It suppresses the appetite and makes you eat less and lose your weight quickly.

It will make you feel fuller for longer time by reducing the speed that the stomach is emptied.

This syrup with its amazing properties helps to flush out the harmful toxins from the body which also helps to lose the excess weight.

This powerful combination not only helps with weight loss but also strengthens the immune system, treats cellulite, detoxifies the body, helps with cold and coughing, treats viral, bacterial and fungal infections and has many other health benefits.

I find it useful to prepare this syrup in advance by taking a cup of honey and mixing with cup of apple cider vinegar and adding a teaspoon or two of cinnamon.

It does not need to be refrigerated, just keep it at a dark place.
