This immune-boosting onion tea originated in the Dominican Republic as a traditional remedy for colds and immunity support. It takes just 20 minutes to prepare and has a surprisingly pleasant taste, especially when enhanced with apple, cinnamon, and honey for a sweet and tangy flavor. For added depth, ginger or lemon can also be included. Perfect for the winter season or anytime immune support is needed, this tea is a simple and effective way to promote wellness.
