🧅Onion Skin Tea - for clouds & flu 🤧
Let’s remember this remedy made from discarded onion 🧅 peelings .
A resident reminded me about this yesterday, for my cold / flu 🤧. It’s amazing how red in colour the brew is and how mild it tastes 👅. It is not oniony at all.
I had used 2 onions to make a chick-pea curry yesterday. So this morning I boiled the peelings and simmered for about 15 mins, then I drank a cupful when it cooled. Tonight I’ll consume the rest before bed 🛌
Depending on your personal taste you can add ginger 🫚 to the simmering onion skins and add some lemon 🍋 juice and / or honey 🍯 before drinking.
Enjoy … in fact you don’t have to wait until you are unwell with a cold. Why not wash and boil up your onion skins, to get the goodness therein, before you throw them away 👌🏾
