The first months of a year very often bring a cold into my life. It’s not the most pleasant of the situations, but it is what it is.
This year, I was trying my best to fight the cold without pills, as naturally as possible. After searching in the deep waters of the internet a little bit, I found this lovely recipe that has been designed especially for fighting the cold or flu.
And it indeed made me feel a lot better.
The beverage is full of vitamin C, it contains raw honey with its antibacterial properties and there a few lovely spices to make you feel beautifully warm inside. It tastes very yummy as well. I highly recommend it.
In case you decide to make this lovely beverage, enjoy!
And stay healthy!
With love,

Perfect to chase the winter blues away. I use a citrus mango pineapple juice since straight orange juice is too acidic for me. Works great!
Very much needed as everyone is ill around me
Snuggled up on my couch on one bitter cold Wisconsin evening. I can sum up the experience in one sentence–“Help is on the way!”
I want to try to make the drink, thank you for making tuotrial
Thank you for this delicious recipe!
I added 1 cup Almond milk for my second try,
it makes the drink milder and less acidic.
Both versions are very tasty 🙂
Hi did you add the almond milk in at the and cold or in the boil hot. Thanks
