Onion tea,anyone?

It's a known fact that Onions are way too smelly and make you cry but they have a good side too.

I remember way back then, when my grandma used to boil an onion in tea and give it to me to drink whenever I had a cold.And just like the common cold would vanish.I also witnessed a neighbour who used to take raw onions as an escort whenever he was having breakfast."Mbona unakula kitunguu kwa chai?"(Why are you taking onions together with tea?I would ask him.He would respond by handing me a plate of raw onions together with a cup of tea which I struggled to take.He would proceed to lecture me on how it cleaned the nasal cavity and also chest congestion issues.

Well,onions have a far much better side despite the smell ;

Onion really come in handy in removing rust from knives.Carefully pass the rusted part into the juicy part of the onion 5-6 times and wait for the outcome.
