Best Garlic Tea Recipes
GARLIC, LEMON, HONEY "TEA"
This cough-inhibiting concoction may help with easing of cold symptoms. Garlic inhibits cough and cold microbes and is an effective decongestant. Honey are considered by many to be a respiratory tonic, improving breathing, and is also known to be antimicrobial, assisting the immune system with fighting infection. Lemon reduces and thins mucus and alters the body's pH, which may make it less hospitable to viruses and bacteria. I make it every winter to prevent colds and because I think it tastes good. I adapted the recipe from one in Prevention magazine. To find it, you can Google the article title: This Tea Busts Colds!

TEA STEAMED CHINESE BLACK MUSHROOMS STUFFED WITH GARLIC-CHIVE FRIED RICE
Steps:
- Set up a steamer filled with water and lined with banana or cabbage leaves. Bring water to a boil then add the tea bags. In a hot wok heavy coated with oil, add the eggs (they should sizzle) and stir quickly. They will cook in 10 to 15 seconds. Remove eggs and set aside. In the same, hot wok, coated lightly with oil, add the garlic and ginger, stir, then the garlic chives. Add the rice and gently mix together. Add soy and season with black pepper. Add back the eggs and check for seasoning. Season each mushroom, then stuff with the rice and place in steamer. Steam hard for 15 minutes.
- Plating: If banana leaves are available, line a large platter and place the leftover rice, if any, in the middle of the platter. Surround with mushrooms and enjoy.
- Beverage: Lapsang Souchong tea or glass of Veuve Clicquot Blanc de Blanc or DVX
GARLIC TEA
In Mexico, or Spain for that matter, garlic tea is served up for coughs or colds. People swear by it! The garlic oils inhibit cough and cold microbes, and they are effective decongestants. Lemon juice reduces and thins mucus, which makes it easier to unclog a stuffed up respiratory system. Lemon juice also changes the body's pH, making it less hospitable to viruses and bacteria.

GRILLED TEA SPICED NY STRIP STEAK WITH GARLIC BROCCOLI
New York Times (7/5/00), Dr. John Weisburger: "HCA (heterocyclic amines) formed when creatine in muscle meats react with amino acids at high temperatures. Sprinkling tea on the meats could help reduce the formation of these amines. May help even to drink strong tea."
