If you have difficulty losing weight, or have a lot of belly fat, I’m going to give you the recipe for a simple OK.
📝 Step-by-Step Preparation Guide
- Prep the Spices:
- Lightly crush the whole cloves and cinnamon sticks using a mortar and pestle (or gently bruise them with the side of a knife) to release their fragrant aromatic oils. 🪵🌿
- Bring Water to a Boil:
- Pour 3 cups of filtered water into a small stainless steel pot or kettle and bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. 💧
- Simmer the Spice Blend:
- Add the crushed whole cloves and cinnamon sticks to the boiling water.
- Lower the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let gently simmer for 10 minutes so the botanical compounds infuse deeply. ⏲️
- Steep & Strain:
- Turn off the heat and let the tea steep covered for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
- Strain the warm, golden-amber liquid into your favorite mug through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the spent spices. 🫖
- Season & Sip:
- Enjoy warm plain, or stir in a teaspoon of raw honey and a fresh squeeze of lemon juice. Drink first thing in the morning or between meals to feel refreshed! 😋✨
