Try this flu bomb recipe if you feel like you are coming down with something.. It actually tastes pretty good. Now you can make this at home and save money. You will get the full nutritional benefits as I show you how to handle the ingredients to get the most out of this ginger turmeric immune boosting recipe.

Ingredients:
½ inch of fresh turmeric, peeled, thinly sliced
¾ inch fresh ginger, peeled, thinly sliced
The juice from one lemon
1 clove garlic, minced do this first so it can sit for 15 minutes
¼ - ½ tsp ground cinnamon ceylon
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar with the mother
1 tsp or to taste raw organic honey
A few cracks of black pepper
1 cup of filtered water

Directions:
Place the turmeric and ginger in a saucepan with the water. Bring to a boil and then turn off the heat and let it steep for 10 minutes. Continue to cool until just warm.

Once cool, strain the ginger and turmeric from the water, into a cup. Add all the other ingredients and stir until the honey dissolves. Enjoy!

Tips:
Stir while drinking to keep the garlic from settling to the bottom.

It’s important to let the garlic sit for 10 - 15 minutes before adding to heat, after you either chop it or mince it. Letting the garlic sit before adding to heat allows the beneficial enzymes to activate. Once you add it to heat, the heat deactivates the enzymes.

To keep the vitamin C intact, add the lemon juice only after the tea has cooled. The same goes for the honey as the heat will destroy all the nutritional benefits.
