So many people are sick right now!! If you’re feeling lousy and not like leaving the house, here’s an old-fashioned favourite of mine:
Into a coffee plunger or teapot put the following:
- 2-3 cloves crushed garlic
- 1/2 lemon chopped up with skin on
- 1 tspn fresh grated ginger
- pinch chilli powder
- 1 peppermint tea bag
- 1 tspn honey
- 2 cups boiling water
Leave the lid on & let it all stew for about 15 minutes stirring occasionally then strain off the solids (pushing on the strainer with the back of a spoon to get out all the ‘juice’ ).
Drink the brew by the small cupful over a few hours, warming it in a saucepan gently beforehand.
Really helps to bring out a sweat and boost the immune system. Do this while resting, so that your body can heal.
Try it and see how it works!!
