Superfood Drinks to Boost Your Immune System!

Garlic & Ginger Immune Booster

Im a fan favourite of this remedy and its recommended for those people who love the taste of garlic! It works perfectly when you begin to develop a scratchy throat, sinus congestion, and mild chills. The ginger and garlic help warm your core body temperature, and all of the ingredients boost your immune system to help you ward off the common cold. If you’re adventurous and love everything that garlic has to offer, when you have finished drinking the liquidyou can add more honey and stir the cut garlic and ginger together and eat the leftover pieces with a spoon. With the addition of honey, the garlic actually goes down easily.

* 1 garlic clove
* 1, 1-inch piece of fresh ginger
* ½ organic lemon
* 1-2 tsp of honey (raw, unpasteurized if possible)

Finely chop the garlic clove and the piece of ginger and put into a mug. Squeeze in the lemon half and pour in 1 cup boiling water. Stir in 1-2 tsp of honey to desired sweetness. Cover and let sit until it is cool enough to drink (roughly 10 minutes). Makes 1 serving.

Lemon, Ginger, Honey Immune-Booster Remedy

This is a great immune-boosting remedy to make during the fall and winter. It takes just five minutes to prepare, and you can store it in your fridge for up to three weeks. When I feel a scratchy throat coming on, I add about two tablespoons of this remedy to my nighttime tea. Not only is it delicious, it helps to boost your immune system by supplying vitamin C, antioxidants, and antibacterial compounds.

* 2 organic lemons
* 2, 3-inch pieces of fresh ginger
* Honey (raw, unpasteurized if available)

Thinly slice lemons and ginger, and mix together. Add to a 12 oz. mason jar, and use a spoon to compress the contents toward bottom of jar. Add honey until the level reaches the top of jar, and shake vigorously to mix the lemon juice and honey together. Store in the refrigerator for up to three weeks. To serve, add 2 tablespoons to your favorite tea blend, or simply add it to hot water. After a couple of uses, I recommend topping off the mixture by adding additional freshly squeezed lemon juice and honey to help prevent spoilage.  Makes about 8 servings.

Enjoy the drinks and there are tons more I’ll be posting in the next few weeks since its usually that time of the year for those living in a colder climate! Now tell me, how do you boost your immune system?
