Cold and Flu Fighter Tea



Cold and Flu Fighter Tea


A warming drink to support the immune system, soothe sore throats and reduce coughing.


Bring one litre of water to the boil and add

  • honey- 1 tablespoon
  • ginger-2 teaspoons of fresh grated
  • lemon- 1 large sliced leaving skin on, do not use waxed fruit
  • cinnamon- 1 stick or 1/2 teaspoon of powder
  • cloves-6
  • garlic- 1 medium clove
  • chilli-1/4 teaspoon of fresh chopped
Continue to boil for one minute.

Allow to cool slightly and drink at a warm temperature throughout the day.

Both honey and chilli can be left out if desired. The honey does give it a more pleasant taste. 
The amount of chilli is too small to give a hot taste but if you have a sensitivity to
 chilli it is best left out.The tea will still be beneficial.
