While the basic recipe offers a wealth of benefits, there’s ample room for customization to cater to personal tastes and health needs:

Add a cinnamon stick or a few slices of fresh ginger for an extra warming effect.

A slice of apple or a few lemon rounds can introduce a new layer of fruity complexity.

Sweeten the brew naturally with a spoonful of honey or maple syrup, or choose a sugar substitute for a calorie-free option.

This ancient concoction not only connects us to the wisdom of our grandmothers but also offers a simple, effective way to incorporate natural health boosters into our daily routine.
