This is about to be your go-to immune support tea, which you desperately need if you feel a cough or cold coming on. It’s always possible to get sick, especially if you encounter bacteria or viruses, even during the summer. It is warming and contains immune-boosting ingredients, such as lemon, cinnamon, orange, ginger, and turmeric. Don’t worry, you get to sweeten the tea with raw agave nectar, so it won’t be too intense for your palate. If you want to be successful with this tea, we have a couple suggestions:
If you want to make a larger batch of tea to store for later, make sure to strain the tea before serving. That will ensure that the flavor isn’t too intense. Another option is for you to store it in the fridge and use it as iced tea, if you don’t like drinking warm beverages when the weather is hot.
Always choose fresh ingredients if they are accessible. Ginger and turmeric are great in dried form, but the fresh varieties have stronger flavors and higher nutritional content.
Always listen to your body because everyone reacts differently to various herbs and ingredients. You can customize the ingredients in this tea, so long as they are cleanse-approved. If you change out ingredients and add onion and garlic, for example, keep in mind that the flavor will either intensify or change.
