Wash the ginger, lemon, and onion thoroughly.
Slice the ginger, lemon, and onion into thin pieces, and lightly crush the garlic cloves to help release their flavor.
Step 2: Add Everything to the Pot
Place the cinnamon sticks, cloves, garlic, ginger, lemon, and onion into a saucepan.
Pour in the water.
Step 3: Simmer
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes with the lid partially covered.
This allows the flavors to infuse into the water.
Step 4: Strain
Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Strain the liquid into a pitcher or directly into mugs, discarding the solids.
Step 5: Serve
Allow the drink to cool slightly before drinking.
If desired, stir in a teaspoon of honey after it has cooled enough to avoid destroying the honey’s flavor.
