Fresh, soothing and healing … I totally, completely and utterly look forward to it each time … and swear by it for keeping colds away. Drink as a treat on a snowy day (or *every* day, yum!)
Here’s the scoop:
Ginger root, fresh lemon and raw honey are said to have powerful healing qualities. Ever since I tried this combo, I’ve never been taken down by a cold or sore throat. Not once.
I believe in the whole “let food be your medicine” thing and have been more and more trying natural ingredients whenever an issue pops up.
Originally I was drinking this at the first sign of a sore throat. I noticed when I did this, the sore throat would never develop into anything. The soreness would just leave.
Now I just go ahead and enjoy a cup each day, usually before breakfast. It’s become a part of my daily self-care and feels nurturing to my body.
