It’s that time of year again, the dreaded flu season! While most people are out getting their flu shots (I wont go into that controversial subject), I’ll be drinking this natural remedy to bust any flu out of my system! The moment I feel any inkling of getting sick or if I’ve been associating with people who are sick, I drink this amazing remedy! Its super easy, tastes really good (I do love ginger though), and will put up a good defense to any cold.
In addition, this remedy is great for travel, I usually bring a couple portions of this along with me on flights, and I request hot water from the flight attendant to seep my concoction. Amazon sells these amazing disposable tea bags, that you can fill with the ginger and turmeric, bringing along some slices of lemon. Next time your feeling a tinge of sickness, drink this tea at least twice a day until your all clear. Check out the quick and easy recipe below!
Recipe for one 16oz serving
- 2 TBSP of fresh chopped ginger (more is better)
- 1 Large lemon Wedge (sometimes I use lime if I don’t have a lemon, but lemons better)
- Manuka honey (or any all natural local honey)
- 1 TBSP chopped turmeric (or 1 TSP powder)
Instructions
- Chop ginger and turmeric and place in a large cup, pour boiling water over it and let seep for 15 minutes. I like to take a fork and kinda smash the ginger against the cup, that way all the juices get out.
- Strain out the ginger and turmeric, add squeezed lemon wedge and honey. Enjoy!
