2. Onion
Onions contain various naturally occurring plant compounds and are an important part of many traditional diets. In this mixture, onion adds a sharp flavor and aroma.
3. Garlic
Garlic has been used in food and traditional wellness practices for centuries. Its strong flavor comes from sulfur-containing compounds that are released when garlic is chopped or crushed.
4. Lemon
Fresh lemon juice adds acidity and a refreshing citrus flavor. It also provides vitamin C and helps balance the strong taste of garlic and onion.
5. Honey
Honey adds sweetness and makes the mixture easier to consume. It has traditionally been used in food and soothing preparations, although it should not be considered a treatment for illness.
