The Powerhouse Potion: Bitter Kola, Ginger, Garlic & Honey (For the Adventurous!)

Looking for a natural way to boost your well-being? Look no further than this potent concoction featuring a powerhouse quartet of ingredients: bitter kola, ginger, garlic, and a touch of honey (optional) for the brave souls!

This drink has been traditionally used in various cultures for its potential health benefits, but remember, scientific evidence is still developing. However, if you’re curious about exploring natural remedies, this recipe is a great place to start.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 5 Bitter Kolas (fresh or dried)
• 5 Garlic Cloves
• 1 inch Ginger Root
• 1 Liter Water
• Honey (Optional, to taste)

Method:

1. Prep the Power Players: Wash and dry the bitter kolas. Grate them finely, or if using dried kolas, crush them into a powder. Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Wash and grate the ginger root.

2. Infuse the Goodness: In a large container, combine the grated bitter kola, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Pour in the liter of water and stir everything well.

3. Let it Steep: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor will be.

4. Honey or No Honey, That is the Question: After steeping, strain the mixture into a serving pitcher. Here comes the fun part! If you’re a fan of bold flavors, you can enjoy the drink as is. But for those who find the taste a bit intense, you can add a touch of honey to sweeten it slightly.

Serving Suggestions:

• Enjoy this drink chilled throughout the day for a refreshing and potentially invigorating experience.
• Start with a small amount and gradually increase as you get accustomed to the taste.
• Important Note: Bitter kola can interact with certain medications. Consult your doctor before consuming this drink if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medications.
