Now, nutritionist Palak Nagpal has dropped a video on Instagram sharing a special walnut tea recipe by the Hunza people, laced with several health benefits. With the chilly winter wind in the air, we suggest you take notes to prevent cold-related symptoms.

They are extremely active and eat to nourish not to fill their stomachs. This video is about their comforting walnut tea which will keep you warm and cozy during the chilly months,” she says.
