Soaked onion in wine will help inhibit the activity of many cancer cells, stimulate the immune system, lower blood pressure, effectively relieve joint pain, etc. If you have a poor tolerance, you can dilute it with a little water, then boil and cool it to drink gradually, or you can add a little honey to make it easier to drink!
How to choose good onions
- Choose onions that are round in shape with long roots, as these are the best onions. Do not choose those with unusual shapes or those that have completely lost their roots, as they will not be good.
- Good onions will have a firm, smooth skin, a beautiful yellow color, with no dark spots, and will fit snugly against the bulb.
Successful Implementation Tips
- You should prioritize choosing jars for soaking onions made of clay or glass.
- Avoid choosing jars made of plastic for soaking, as alcohol will react with certain substances from the plastic, harming the body and affecting the flavor when used.
- Before soaking, you should briefly dip the utensils used for soaking into boiling water for sterilization, then dry them thoroughly with a clean cloth.
- You should make an amount just enough for about 1 month and store it in the refrigerator to ensure health safety.
