A ginger tea made with lemon, honey and fresh thyme…
Let’s face it, there’s nothing worse than feeling like you’re coming down with what’s sure to be a nasty cold. Now, although there’s no known cure for the common cold, our pleasing COLD REMEDY will help. Cold symptoms can include a runny nose, headaches, body aches, an itchy or sore throat, cough, congestion, sneezing, watery eyes, and sometimes a low-grade fever. Who needs it?!
Before we share the details on our feel-better friend, here are some other things you might want to try at the first sign of trouble:
We know you’ll come to appreciate this simple homemade COLD REMEDY as much as we do; it’s a keeper. Make sure to PIN it to Pinterest and SHARE it with friends. We’re hoping they follow us on Facebook and Instagram. Thanks!
Whenever you feel a cold or flu coming on, try making this simple, warming lemon ginger and honey tea. We guarantee it’ll make you feel a whole lot better.
All of the ingredients used in this hot drink are good for you. Fresh GINGER is loaded with antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, and anti-parasitic properties. It can also help reduce chest pain and coughing.
Fresh THYME leaves are a rich source of vitamins and minerals, considered essential for optimum health, including, potassium, iron, calcium, manganese, magnesium, and selenium.
It seems that lemons and honey have been joining forces to fight colds and flu for a very long time. LEMONS are rich in vitamin C and flavonoids that work together against flu and cold infections.
Raw organic HONEY (honey that hasn’t been pasteurized, clarified, or filtered) contains two key ingredients: bee pollen and propolis, which has antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.
Allow the tea to steep for five minutes before serving, and always stir the contents each time before you pour. The other really important thing is to drink while it’s hot for optimum benefit.
Sometimes it might take a few days for the benefits of this soothing beverage to kick in. Try to prepare and enjoy at least two to three times each day until cold and flu symptoms subside.
The last suggestion about this COLD REMEDY is a recommendation to peel and eat a small mandarin or clementine while the tea steeps. I like to think that the hit of citrus wakes up the tastebuds while also sending a welcome message to your brain and body – you might feel yucky, but help is on the way!
Almost forgot! Sometimes homemade cookies can make you feel better too! Try these CHERRY ORANGE OAT COOKIES or these OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIPS.
Please note, if fever or cough persists, consult with a medical professional. They’ll be able to treat the cold virus and possibly prescribe pain relievers such as ibuprofen, Tylenol, aspirin or advil. They’ll also know which sprays, antihistamines, and over-the-counter cold medicines might provide relief too.
This recipe is offered as a possible way of alleviating cold and flu symptoms. As always, speak with a licensed physician about your health and well-being.
