Rich in regenerative flavonoids (like free radical-fighting quercetin) and immune-boosting vitamins Pyaaz Chaa is a savoury brew traditionally used to help heal respiratory illness and improve skin health at the same time.
Don't be put off by the unusual main ingredient – onion skins – this mild-flavoured tea-tonic puts a usually-wasted ingredient to delicious and restorative use.
Ingredients
700mls of water
2” knob of ginger (chopped into pieces)
Papery skins from 3 onions
1 stick of cinnamon
1 generous tsp of mānuka honey
Pour water into a medium sized pot.
Chop ginger into pieces, roughly 1cm pieces and add to pot.
Add onions skins, cinnamon and gently simmer for 20 — 30 minutes. By this stage it should be a lovely amber colour. Remove from heat and add mānuka honey. Taste and add a little more if needed.
