The weather was a bit nuts for the past couple of weeks here in Houston. A lot of people, especially kids was feeling down, sore throats, or catching cold. I made this super delicious tea for the family. Kids love it, thinking they are getting a treat, husband and I enjoyed it cup after cup.

Ingredients:

• a large knob of fresh ginger, about 1 inch long, thinly sliced
• 3 oranges, peeled, only using the peels in this recipe, so feel free to eat the oranges or use them for other recipes and take in more vitamin C
• 1 TBSP ground turmeric
• 1 stick of cinnamon
• 2 bags of pepper mint tea

Method:

Put all ingredients into a medium pot, put in about 8 cups of water, enough to cover all ingredients. Bring it up to a boil and lower the heat to a simmer for a good 10 minutes.

Be careful, since turmeric tends to boil over, so keep a close eye on it when it’s boiling before lowering the heat. Then kill the heat, leave the lid on, and let it cool to be able to enjoy it. 

Pour over some raw honey as desired, and squirt in some fresh lemon juice. This is a powerful cup of tea that would make you feel way better in no time and help you fight cold and sore throat.
