Combined with honey’s soothing qualities and lemon’s vitamin C, this mixture becomes a warm, revitalizing tonic perfect for seasonal changes, cold weather, or daily immune support.
It’s easy to make, requires minimal ingredients, and can be enjoyed as a warm drink or taken by the spoonful.

- People with stomach sensitivity can reduce garlic amount or add more honey.
- This is a natural wellness remedy—not a substitute for medical treatment.
