Description
This delicious tea will help soothe your cold!
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 tsp raw grated ginger
- 1/4 tsp turmeric (either choose raw or powdered organic)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- Dash cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp honey
- Optional: lemon. Lemon is rich in vitamin C and just tastes great. I’d recommend it! Try adding 1/2 a lemon.
- Optional: garlic*
Instructions
- Add the water, turmeric, apple cider vinegar, ginger, lemon or garlic if using, and cayenne pepper to a pot and bring to a boil. Do not add the honey yet! It will kill all of its active ingredients, which is not what you want.
- Once the mix has boiled, let it simmer for 10-12 minutes.
- Strain and add the honey. If you’re sniffly, breathe in the concoction at this point! The cayenne will work its magic.
- Sip away! Bye bye cold.
Notes
*One time when I was going hard with the tonics, I tried adding garlic for its antibacterial properties. It didn’t taste great and it wasn’t enjoyable, so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it. However, if you’re either really sick or feeling bold, go for it. ½ a clove is more than enough.
