Fight off flu and colds with this potent potion!
Ingredients:
- 20 ml honey (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Zest of one lemon
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger or ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons fresh turmeric or ground turmeric
- A couple of pinches of black pepper
Instructions:
- Prep your ingredients: If using fresh ginger and turmeric, grate them finely. Zest the lemon, being careful to avoid the bitter white pith.
- Combine and simmer: In a small saucepan, combine the grated ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, lemon zest, and black pepper with about two cups of water. Bring to a simmer and let it gently bubble for 5-10 minutes.
- Strain it out: Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the mixture to remove any solid particles.
- Sweeten it up: While the mixture is still warm (but not boiling), stir in the honey. This helps preserve the honey’s beneficial properties.
- Enjoy! Drink the mixture warm for immediate comfort or let it cool and store it in the refrigerator for later.
Tip: For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after straining.
This drink is packed with immune-boosting goodness! Enjoy it as a preventive measure or to help soothe cold and flu symptoms.
