★Ingredients
4-5 dried figs
1 slice of fresh ginger (optional, for boosting metabolism)
1 cinnamon stick (optional for extra flavor)
2 cups water
1 tsp honey (optional, for sweetness)
A squeeze of lemon juice (optional, for added benefits)
★Instructions
Prepare the figs: Cut the dried figs in half to release their nutrients during boiling.
Boil the water: In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
Add the ingredients: Once the water is boiling, add the dried figs, cinnamon stick, and fresh ginger (if using). Let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
Strain: After simmering, strain the tea into a cup to remove the fig pieces, ginger, and cinnamon.
Sweeten and flavor: Stir in honey if you’d like to sweeten the tea, and add a squeeze of lemon juice for a refreshing taste.
Enjoy: Drink this tea once a day for the best results, preferably in the morning or before meals.
