Supercharge Your Immune System With A Lemon-Ginger-Honey Tea For Any Season

Last updated on 26 APR 2019

You may have heard of the many health benefits of drinking warm lemon water. I take it a step further and add more healthful ingredients into my warm lemon water. I call this my super immune booster, and drink it every morning. Especially useful when doing a cleanse.

This drink has  immense health benefits:

• Boosts immune system
• Cleanses the kidneys and improves their functions
• Helps improve liver function
• Reduces the recurrence of gastritis and heartburn
• Strengthens respiratory system
• Anti-inflammatory
• Eliminates bacterial and fungal infection
• Improves digestion
• Regulates bowel movements
• Reduces body acidity
• Purifies blood
• Soothes sore throat
• Halts the progress of a cold
• Naturally lowers blood pressure
• Lowers high cholesterol
• Helps with weight loss
• Reduces wrinkles and skin blemishes

Lemon-Ginger-Honey Tea

How To Make:

• Cut 4 or 5 lemons and remove 50% of peel (leave 50% of peel on). Use organic lemons if possible.
• For every lemon, use about an inch-cube sized ginger root
• 2-3 bulbs of lemongrass (optional but highly recommended)—use only the bottom 3-4 inches from the root
• Juice everything with your slow juicer

Store the juice in a small mason jar with a lid. This is suitable for the family to be consumed every day to boost the immune system. This concoction is so high in antioxidant that it is a preservative by itself and can be stored for up to five days in the fridge.

To make a glass of this lemon-ginger-honey-tea:

• 300 ml of very warm water (not boiling)
• 5 tablespoons of the above concoction
• 1 tablespoon of raw honey or manuka honey (or to desired taste)
• ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon powder (optional)
• 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (optional)

When you feel a cold coming, nip it in the bud. Drink this concoction for 1-2 days and the cold will not have a chance to become full-blown.

If you already have a full-blown cold, drink 2-3 times throughout the day and sip it warm. Drink every day until you get well. It helps speed up recovery and shorten your suffering.

When doing a cleanse, it is helpful to drink this throughout the day. It is very cleansing and helps reduce healing reactions.
