Potent Anti-Viral Tea | Healthy and Green Living
Ingredients

Ginger helps stimulate a therapeutic sweat. Studies also show that it helps fight against bacterial infections that may develop as a result of the viral infection. Lemon juice does the same thing, warding off secondary bacterial infections and giving a whopping amount of Vitamin C. Apple cider (and apple cider vinegar), is extremely rich in minerals and has been employed since ancient times for this reason.

Step One
One cup of peeled, chopped and minced fresh ginger
10 cups of water

Step Two
Apple cider (1/2 cup per serving)
Lemon juice

Directions
Peel and mince the ginger (a food processor makes little work of this job). Simmer the minced ginger in 10 cups of water for an hour or so. Strain.

When ready to have a serving place 1/2 cup of the strained ginger water in a pan with 1/2 cup of apple cider and a squirt or two of lemon juice. Heat and serve.

  1. Also, if you have a cough, adding honey to this is very soothing, and a pinch of cayenne will help detoxify. Plus it's super tasty!
