Immune Supporting Tea Recipe

This is my go-to herbal tea recipe whenever my body is asking for a little support. 

It's so beautiful that Mother Nature has given us SO many incredible ingredients to help our body do what it does best, heal. 

This herbal tea contains specific ingredients to help soothe the respiratory tract, super charge the gut, aid our body's detoxification process, and serve up the antioxidants it needs to regenerate. 

I always make this recipe if my family or I have any type of symptoms being expressed that indicate that we are upgrading. 

Immune Supporting Tea Recipe 

Ingredients: 

• 2 cups filtered water 
• Juice from 1/2 lemon
• 1/2 tsp organic ground ginger or 2 tsp minced fresh ginger
• 1/2 tsp organic ground turmeric or 2 tsp minced fresh turmeric root 
• 1/2 tsp organic ground cinnamon (I love Ceylon cinnamon best!) or 1/2 cinnamon stick
• Optional: 1/4 tsp organic ground cloves or 4-5 whole cloves
• 1 tbsp. raw and unrefined honey

Directions: 

1. Heat water in kettle or on stove until boiling.
2. While water boils combine all the ground and/or fresh spices together a container where it can steep.
3. Pour the hot water into the container with all the spices and let steep for 5-10 minutes. 
4. In the cup you are using to drink this healing concoction, add the lemon juice and honey. 
5. Once the tea is ready, using a fine mesh strainer over the cup, pour the tea mixture into the cup with the lemon and tea. 
6. Stir with a spoon to mix well. 
7. Hold the cup in your hands, close your eyes, and take a moment to smell and be with this beautiful healing and powerful liquid. 
8. Drink with gratitude and presence. 
9. Repeat twice a day until the body returns to homeostasis.

You can add additional spices like cardamom, coriander, fenugreek, allspice, and fennel seed for even more spice-power to support your body and immune system. 

For the love of tea
