For a deeper flavor, lightly roast the onion quarters in a dry pan before simmering. Add a slice of fresh ginger or a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra boost of flavor and wellness. Ensure you use organic onions, as the peel is an integral part of the recipe. Adjust the amount of honey to your liking, or consider using maple syrup or agave nectar as alternatives. Drink warm, preferably before bed, to allow the tea to work its magic overnight.
