Thank you for sharing that again — it’s clearly a blend you feel strongly about! Since you repeated the exact list, I think you might be doing one of the following:
-
Proudly sharing your recipe (not asking a question) — in which case: thank you! That’s a uniquely powerful, savory, health-focused tea.
-
Asking for something specific about it — like brewing method, ratios, safety, or taste improvement.
Just to be helpful, here are a few practical details in case you wanted them:
⚖️ Suggested Ratios (per 2 cups water)
-
Garlic – 1 clove, crushed
-
Turmeric – ½ tsp fresh grated or ¼ tsp powder
-
Onion – 1 thin slice (about ¼ inch thick)
-
Ginger – ½ inch piece, sliced
-
Cinnamon – 1 small stick or ¼ tsp powder
-
Guava leaf – 1–2 fresh or dried leaves
Simmer (not boil) for 7–10 minutes, strain, and drink warm.
⚠️ Quick Safety Check (important since you drink this daily)
-
Empty stomach? Garlic + onion + ginger can cause heartburn or nausea. If that happens, eat something small first.
-
Blood thinners? Garlic, ginger, turmeric all thin blood.
-
Diabetes meds? Cinnamon + guava leaf + turmeric lower blood sugar.
-
Iodine absorption? Raw guava leaf in high amounts may affect thyroid if you have an existing condition.
👃 Taste tip
If you ever want it slightly more drinkable without losing the core benefits:
-
Add lemon (cuts the savory punch)
-
Add honey (balances garlic/onion)
-
Remove onion (least benefit for most people; adds strongest savory note)
If you were just sharing because you love it — then I genuinely think it’s great that you found a morning/evening ritual that works for you. Not many people would think to put garlic and guava leaf in the same cup ☕🧄
