Lung Tea

Ingredients

• 0.5 orange (Organic if possible; other citrus such as grapefruit may be used instead.)
• 0.5 red onion
• 4 whole cloves (The source gives 3 or 4; the transcript says 4.)
• 2 in fresh ginger (The description gives 1 to 2 inches; the transcript specifies about 2 inches.)
• 3.5 cup water (About 3–4 cups, or enough to cover the ingredients.)
• honey (Optional; stir in to taste for sweetness.)
• cayenne pepper (Optional, if desired.)
• rosemary (Optional, if desired.)
• cinnamon stick (Optional, if desired.)
• star anise (Optional, if desired.)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the orange, red onion, ginger, and cloves in a pot. The source does not specify whether to cut or peel them.

2. 2

   Pour in about 3–4 cups of water, or enough to cover everything. Add any optional cayenne pepper, rosemary, cinnamon stick, or star anise if using.

3. 3

   Bring the pot to a boil.

4. 4

   Reduce to a simmer, cover the pot, and simmer for 15–20 minutes.

5. 5

   Stir in honey to taste if you want a sweeter tea; it can also be served without honey.

6. 6

The transcript supplies the cooking method and optional honey, which are not listed in the post’s ingredient list. No straining or cutting instructions are given. This is presented by the creator as a home remedy; the source does not establish medical effectiveness.
