Natural Cough Remedy Tea
My cold remedy tea is full of nutritious and healing ingredients to help speed up recovery from the common cold and flu. Enjoy a few cups a day to nurse yourself back to optimal health.
Ingredients
- 1 lemon
- 1 brown onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 inch fresh ginger sliced
- 1 inch fresh turmeric root sliced
- 4 cups water
Instructions
- Smash the garlic with the side of a knife and allow it to sit for 10 minutes to allow it to activate its medicinal components. If you heat garlic before allowing it to sit for 10 minutes, you will lose most of its health benefits.
- While the garlic is activating, cut the lemon in half and juice both sides. Once done, place the juice and lemon halves into a medium saucepan.
- Peel and cut the onion in half.
- Finely slice the turmeric and ginger.
- Combine all ingredients into the saucepan and allow water to boil until onion becomes translucent-about 10-15 minutes.
- Strain and serve in a teacup. If you wish, you can add raw honey (try to source locally). Enjoy multiple cups a day during sickness.
