How to Make Garlic Oregano Cinnamon Tea
Start by bringing the water to a gentle boil in a small saucepan.
Add the crushed garlic, oregano, and cinnamon.
Lower the heat and let everything simmer gently for about 8 to 10 minutes.
That gives the ingredients enough time to release their flavor into the water.
Once done, remove from the heat and let it sit for another 2 or 3 minutes.
Strain into cups.
If you want a softer finish, add a little honey.
If you want it brighter, squeeze in a little lemon.
Serve warm.
That is all it takes.
Very simple.
Very homemade.
Very easy to make again.
Why These Ingredients Work Well Together Cooking& Recipes
What makes this drink so interesting is the balance between the ingredients.
Garlic is bold and strong, but once it is simmered in water, it becomes softer and less sharp than people expect.
Oregano adds an herbal note that keeps the drink from feeling too plain.
