A true immune booster for the cold season
The perfect secret weapon to get through winter without catching a cold is simply prepared with a few fresh ingredients. Now is the perfect time to expand your cold teas to withstand the cold season with a strengthened immune system.
First, peel the ginger and turmeric root and the lemon and cut them into small slices.When cutting turmeric, I highly recommend wearing kitchen gloves, as otherwise, you quickly become acquainted with yellow fingers. Organic ginger or turmeric tubers can also be used without peeling. Then, fill a pot and add the fresh mint leaves. After pouring hot water over it, let the "Immunbooster" sit for about 7-10 minutes, then sweeten it and add propolis. And there you have the perfect booster for the cold season.
The recipe for ginger-turmeric-lemon tea (quantity for one teapot):
- 1 fresh organic ginger root
- 1 fresh organic turmeric root
- 1 fresh organic lemon
- a few fresh mint leaves
- Propolis (bee resin)
- Honey, stevia, or agave syrup for sweetening
