I have talked about this before but while we are going into the flu and cold season I think that it is worth mentioning again.

Garlic and Honey Lemon Tea

I try to keep some in a jar ready to make some hot tea with most of the winter.

I don’t always do a lot of measuring but chop several cloves (sometimes 5 or 6 or more depending on the size of cloves) and pour some hot water over it to steep. I add some lemon juice and honey to taste for a tasty hot tea that I believe boosts our immune system.  What we don’t use right then goes in the refrigerator with a lid on it of course so I can bring it out again to heat up for another cup of tea. Keeping some of this handy during the winter makes it more convenient to use, especially when you’re just not feeling so great. Adding some fresh ginger in with the garlic adds to it too.
