“Onion… in tea?!” 🍵🧅 Sounds crazy, but this old remedy is said to calm your stomach, ease coughs, and even help you sleep. Curious what happens when you drop an onion into your cup? Full recipe in the article below 👇
There’s a simple old recipe known as “onion tea.” Onions are packed with valuable nutrients that the body needs, yet many people avoid them because of their strong taste. This method allows you to enjoy the benefits of onion in a mild, soothing drink.
You’ll need:
-
1 onion
-
200 ml of brewed tea
(Optional: add natural honey or fresh mint for a better taste.)
How to prepare it:
-
Peel the onion.
-
Cut it crosswise, but not all the way through, so it stays in one piece.
-
Place the onion into a cup of hot tea and let it steep for 5–10 minutes.
-
Drink whenever you feel discomfort in your stomach or intestines.
This warm infusion can help ease abdominal pain, improve bowel function, and support regular digestion. It’s also believed to be useful as a preventive remedy for bronchitis — the onion helps calm coughs and promotes the expulsion of mucus.
If consumed before bedtime, this tea may also help relax the nervous system, ease restlessness, and improve sleep quality.
It’s often recommended to drink one cup each night for 6–7 days, followed by a short break. An interesting detail: the onion tends to float with its cross-shaped cut facing upward inside the cup.
