Step 4: Steep and Strain (Optional)
Let the tonic steep for 5 to 10 minutes. This allows the flavors and nutrients to infuse. If desired, strain the mixture to remove garlic bits and spices for a smoother drink. Alternatively, leave the solids in for a stronger effect.
Step 5: Serve
Drink the tonic warm, preferably on an empty stomach in the morning or before bed. Sip slowly, allowing the warmth and compounds to coat the throat and digestive tract. For acute infections, consume twice daily.
