COLD + FLU SEASON TEA
I make this Cold + Flu Season Tea whenever the weather changes, and whenever I feel a head cold / itchy throat coming on.
Ingredients:
- Orange Peel from 2 Oranges
- Peppermint, or generic mint leaves, 2 Tablespoons
- Liquorice Root, 2-3 pieces
- Ginger, 1 Inch Chunk, sliced
- Lime Juice, from 1 Lime
- Cinnamon Sticks, 2
- Cloves, 2 teaspoon
- Peppercorn, 6-8 pieces
- Water, 2 Cups or more
Steps:
- Boil at least 2 cups of water on medium high heat. Put more if you want to make a bigger batch, you would only need to cook for longer.
- Put all the ingredients into the water, squeeze in the lime juice, and turn the heat down to a simmer.
- Let the tea cook for at least 10-15 minutes. Cook for longer if you’d like it to be a bit stronger, but no more than 30 minutes on low heat.
- Siff the tea into your desired container. Pour some into a cup or a mug. Add sweetener if you like, but not necessary as the tea is very nice on its own.
Enjoy and stay healthy!
