🧅 Making Onion Water for Blood Sugar Control

To make onion tea

I collected about two mesh bags worth of onion skins.

The benefits of onions have been known since childhood.

My mom often makes side dishes to help improve my blood quality.

They made various things for me.

 

Making onion tea is easy.

It takes time to gather onions.

 

🥇 You need to wash the collected onions well and let them dry on a colander.

 

 

🥇 Roasting in a frying pan.

It's always important to preheat the car; that's how the water flows well.

 

 

🥇 I added 3-4 chapters and 1 liter of water, and it boiled well.

 

 

 

There is no unusual taste to the onion.

Since I drank it warmly, I feel a bit more comfortable.

 

It might be good to drink it cool during the day!!
