Hot Honey-Lemon {With Or Without Ginger}

You can never go wrong with this first recipe. This is the one I use most, and it’s fantastic when a sore throat starts coming on.

  • In the bottom of a mug, place about 1 tablespoon of raw honey.
  • Add another tablespoon of lemon juice. Fresh is best, but bottled works if you have it.
  • For an extra kick, stick a slice of fresh ginger in there.
  • Pour boiling water over everything, stir, and let the ginger steep for 5-10 minutes.
  • Remove the ginger, stir and enjoy.

Your throat is about to feel so much better!

Cold Buster!

Get ready, because this one is potent, but it’s also delicious with a little kick.

  • Heat a cup of water.
  • Once the water boils, add 1 clove of garlic {crushed}, a teaspoon of grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric.
  • Let this mixture sit until lukewarm.
  • Strain the water to remove the garlic and ginger.
  • Reheat and stir in 1-2 tablespoons of honey and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Adjust to taste.

Minty Cold Tea

This is a tea made with fresh mint leaves, and it tastes and smells amazing! It’s great to help clear clogged nasal passages in a jiffy. If your tummy is a little upset, it’ll cure that too!

  • Place a small handful of fresh mint leaves in the bottom of a mug.
  • Pour boiling water over the mint leaves.
  • Wait about 10 minutes, then remove the leaves.
  • Add your favorite sweetener to taste.

Spiced Turmeric Hot Cocoa

What better vehicle for some extra turmeric than a cup of hot cocoa? Turmeric is one of the best immune boosters out there, because it help reduce inflammation in the body.

  • Pour one cup of milk into a saucepan and heat over low heat until it simmers.
  • Add 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 2-3 teaspoons of honey.
  • Blend everything together with a handheld milk frother.
  • Pour into a mug and enjoy!
