Soothing Tea

Ginger Honey and Lemon Tea

I have been making this tea whenever I feel something coming on or am already sick. Usually, it will curb the cold before it takes hold, but in either case, you’ll find this tea not only gives relief, but also works on stimulating your immune system and warms you up.
You probably know that lemon is high in Vitamin C. It is also full of phytochemicals. These are plant constituents that help boost the immune system and much more.
Ginger and honey are also well documented to help the immune system
Directions:
Fill up your teakettle and get it boiling.
Meanwhile, grate a one-inch piece of fresh ginger root.
Get a thermos out, a 1 quart works well
Put the ginger in the thermos.
add 4 tablespoons lemon juice
add 3 tablespoons honey
When your water is boiled, pour it in the thermos.
Cover it up and let it sit for 20 minutes.
Strain into a tea cup and enjoy!
*If you don't have a thermos, you can prepare it in an open pan,but you'll just have te reheat it.
