Flu Fighting Tea.

Here’s a Flu-Fighting Tea recipe—a warm, soothing, and immune-boosting drink packed with natural antivirals and anti-inflammatories 🍋🌿☕

Flu-Fighting Tea

Ingredients (1–2 servings)

• 1–2 slices fresh ginger (about ½ inch thick)

• 1–2 cloves garlic, lightly crushed (optional, very potent!)

• 1 cinnamon stick

• 2–3 whole cloves or ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

• Juice of ½ lemon

• 1 tablespoon honey (or to taste)

• 2 cups water

• Optional: a pinch of turmeric or black pepper for extra immune support

Instructions

1. Boil the base

   • In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, and cloves to a boil.

2. Simmer

   • Reduce heat and simmer 10–15 minutes to extract flavors and nutrients.

3. Strain

   • Remove solids and pour the tea into a cup.

4. Add finishing touches

   • Stir in lemon juice, honey, and optional turmeric.

5. Serve warm

   • Sip slowly to soothe throat and congestion.

Why It Works

• Ginger & Garlic: Natural antivirals and anti-inflammatories.

• Cinnamon & Cloves: Antioxidant-rich and warming.

• Lemon: Vitamin C and alkalizing properties.

• Honey: Soothes sore throat and has antimicrobial properties.

• Turmeric: Reduces inflammation and supports immunity.

Tips

• For a stronger brew, simmer longer, up to 20 minutes.

• Drink 2–3 cups per day at the first sign of flu or cold.

• Use raw, organic honey for maximum benefits.

I can also make a “supercharged 5-minute flu tea” that uses pantry staples and tastes surprisingly good, perfect for mornings or evenings.
