The perfect remedy for aging: I haven’t found it yet. Nothing really makes wrinkles disappear. Well, except Botox. But that’s cheating. So is there no game changer in the natural world? Apparently there is. I present, thanks to TikTok: the onion. More specifically: onion tea. And this is how you make the stuff.

The good old onion has already made many a person cry, but in this case the tears will be tears of happiness. Because that onion is going to make sure you go through life wrinkle-free.

According to this TikTok user, this is a real game changer

User dr.mamima has this tip, which she in turn got from her mother—who also makes a cameo in the video. Apparently, onions contain a good amount of quercetin. This is an antioxidant that can have many benefits for you, including an anti-aging effect. Well, sounds good! And how do we use it? Peel the skins off the onions, wash them well and put a pan of water on the stove. Once the water has come to a boil, let the skins steep in it for about 20 minutes. Then strain the water and voilà: the onion tea is ready.

According to this TikTok user, it tastes slightly like onion water, and as a big onion soup lover, I think I’m definitely going to try this hack. So anyone who wants to be beautiful doesn’t need to suffer—just slurp onion tea!
