At this time of the year boosting our immune system is more important than ever. We are just moving out of Winter into Spring and this is typically a time
An immune-boosting tea remedy typically involves combining various herbs and spices known for their immune-boosting properties.
Here's a favourite tea recipe of mine for a soothing and immune-boosting treat:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups water
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger (sliced)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2-3 cloves
- 1-2 teaspoons raw honey (or sweetener of choice)
- Juice of half a lemon (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and slice the fresh ginger.
2. Boil the Ingredients: In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the sliced ginger, cinnamon stick, and cloves to the boiling water.
3. Simmer and Infuse: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes to infuse the flavours and release the beneficial compounds from the ginger and spices.
4. Strain and Sweeten: After simmering for 10-15 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the tea to remove the ginger slices, cinnamon stick, and cloves.
5. Sweeten and Flavour: Add raw honey or your preferred sweetener to the strained tea and stir until dissolved. Optionally, squeeze in the juice of half a lemon for added flavour and a boost of vitamin C.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the warm winter remedy tea into a mug and savour its soothing warmth!
Additional Tips:
You can adjust the sweetness and strength of the tea according to your preference by adding more or less honey and adjusting the simmering time for a stronger flavour. You really can't go wrong.
Feel free to experiment with other spices or herbs, such as turmeric, peppermint, or echinacea, to suit your taste and potentially enhance the tea's immune-boosting properties.
This warming winter remedy tea is not only comforting but also contains ingredients known for their potential immune-supporting and soothing properties.
As with any home remedy, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have any medical conditions or are taking medications, to ensure it's suitable for you.
