Description
With the abrupt change in weather and a worldwide pandemic, cough, cold and flu symptoms are in full effect. This soothing home remedy helps alleviate cold and flu symptoms and the razor sharp pain of a scratchy sore throat.
Ingredients
- 1 & 1/2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
- 1 tablespoon honey (local, if possible)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 dashes cayenne pepper (optional, but recommended)
Instructions
- Bring your water to a boil in a saucepan (or heat in the microwave). Stir in additional ingredients until they’re well combined and dissolved. If using fresh ginger, let the tea steep for 5 minutes to infuse the ginger.
- Sip warm as needed for a cold, the flu or a sore, dry throat. We often drink it 2-4 times a day when not feeling well. If making a big batch of tea, it can be stored in the fridge for up to 6 days and reheated as necessary.
Notes
- Always check for FfL-friendly ingredients.
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
- PLEASE NOTE: We are not doctors. See your health care provider and seek medical advice for any major or serious illnesses or symptoms that last longer than a few days. And, as always, consult your medical practitioner before changing any part of your lifestyle.
