Here’s how to do it for best results
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients as they affect the strength and flavor of the drink.
- Crush the garlic lightly to activate allicin, the active compound behind many of garlic’s health benefits.
- Let the mixture simmer gently instead of boiling to preserve the delicate substances in the oregano and cinnamon.
- Let the drink steep thoroughly before straining it to get maximum flavor and effect.
- Drink once a day, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach or in the evening before bedtime.
