This immune-supportive tea is my go-to when I’m feeling run down or just want to stay ahead of the cold and flu season. It's easy to whip up, full of warming spices, and can be sipped throughout the day. Plus, you can customize it to suit your taste and boost its benefits!

Ingredients

500 ml boiling hot water (2 cups)
2 organic ginger tea bags (or a 2 cm slice of fresh ginger root, diced or grated)
½ tsp ground turmeric (or a 2 cm fresh piece of root, diced or grated)
2 tsp manuka or raw honey -more or less to taste
1 lemon/s -juice and zest

Instructions

Pour the boiling water over the ginger, turmeric, and optional coconut oil.
Let it sit for a few minutes before adding the zest and juice.
Add the honey then simply sip yourself well.
This makes 2 cups or one thermos of immune tea.

Notes

Supercharge it

Simmering the ginger and turmeric root in the water for 5-10 minutes will make a more potent brew.

Boost it

Add a tablespoon of extra virgin coconut oil to the tea.

Vegan

To make it vegan, replace the honey with maple syrup or rice malt syrup.
