This tea will make you want to curl up on the sofa with a good book and a blanket, it’s just that good.

This immunity tea is my saviour during the colder winter months and it’s something I’ve been drinking for years now to help combat flu and cold viruses. I am seriously in love with this tea – there is nothing better than hot fresh ginger and lemon! I love making a big pot of this tea and leaving it on the counter for me to sip on throughout the day. It’s a wonderful digestion booster and great for supporting the immune system or when fighting that cold that just won’t go away!

This immunity tea contains:

• lemon – which is naturally alkalizing and anti-viral, aids in detox and packed with vitamin C
• ginger – an inflammation-reducing powerhouse, helping to bust bacteria and viruses and is known for its’ wonderful properties that help to reduce nausea
• ACV (apple cider vinegar) – a fermented tonic which will also help to kill bacteria, aid in digestion and boost metabolism, amongst other amazing things
• cayenne pepper – stimulates blood flow, boosts digestion and ignites a fire-y sensation in the body
• raw honey – a great natural sweetener known to combat allergies and help to soothe the throat during infection 

The best part? I encourage you to try this tea warm, but it can also be made iced in the summer months!
