As Dr. Travis explains, people in Spain like to cut garlic cloves in half and pop them in warm water, let that sit for a bit, and then add some honey and lemon.
"They'll drink this two to three times a day during the cold and flu season," says Dr. Travis. "There's some science behind this!"
Rach wasn't quite convinced! "I mean, I eat a lot of garlic, it's always in my system. I know garlic is good for you," she says. "But garlic tea? I don't know."

"Interestingly, people who eat garlic get fewer colds," says Dr. Travis.
But he added, "The one thing that I always wonder is, do you think it's because people who eat garlic, no one wants to hang around them?"
Appalled, Rach says, "Thanks a lot, Trav!"
Well played, Doc!
As always, be sure to consult your doctor before making any dietary changes.
