Ginger and Clove Immunity-Boosting Tea

Ingredients:

• 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
• 4-5 whole cloves
• 2 cups water
• 1-2 teaspoons honey (optional, for sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for added freshness)

Instructions:

1. Boil the water: In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
2. Add ginger and cloves: Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the ginger slices and whole cloves to the pot.
3. Simmer: Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes. This allows the ginger and cloves to release their beneficial compounds into the water.
4. Strain and serve: After simmering, strain the tea into a cup, discarding the ginger and cloves.
5. Sweeten and enhance: Stir in honey if you’d like some sweetness and add lemon juice for a fresh, tangy twist.
6. Enjoy: Sip slowly and enjoy the warming and invigorating effects.

Benefits:

• Ginger: Helps with digestion, reduces inflammation, and soothes nausea.
• Clove: Contains antioxidants, supports respiratory health, and has antibacterial properties.
• Together, they create a tea that may help with cold symptoms, boost your immune system, and aid digestion.

This is a perfect drink for chilly mornings or when you’re feeling under the weather!
