all natural cold & flu remedy.
that's the claim...
and i hope its accurate.

my daughter sent me a link for this recipe on friday...
saying she wanted to make it.
i remarked that "i did too".

so...
i made two batches this morning.
i'm taking one home...
and will leave one with my parents.

what is it?
lemons, ginger & honey.

the lemons and ginger are sliced...
and placed in a mason jar in alternate layers.
pour the hone over the slices...
allowing it to sink down and around the slices.
store in the refrigerator.

over time the mixture will start to turn into a loose jelly.

for a soothing tea...
scoop 2-3 tablespoons into a mug full of hot water.
allow to steep for 3-4 minutes and sip away.

***

lemons - high in vitamin c
ginger - promotes a healthy sweating for detox
honey - soothes sore throats & natural cough suppressant

***

an added boost would be a shot of something...
just because.
