Get Ready for Flu Season

My friend Amy is a health and wellness aficionado and avid yogi (instructor and student). At some point in her yoga studies she learned about this ancient tea recipe (not sure if it's really ancient but it sounds better) to ward off sickness. She said the minute she feels a cold or flu coming on, she pounds this tea and fights it off. I've followed suit and have been drinking it for the last year. I, too, swear by it and have my husband hooked now as well. Great recipe to have in your back pocket now that flu season is on the horizon.


Get Well Tea
1-2 T fresh ginger, minced
1/8 t cayenne pepper (or less... or more if you can handle it.)
1-2 T honey
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Put ingredients in a mug and pour boiling water over. Let steep for several minutes and then drink your sickness away. Add more honey or lemon juice if you need it.
