It's flu season and a handful of my buddies have been bit by that icky bug (my heartmate included). Luckily, I don't get sick, which means, lucky for them, I get to make them my favorite lemon honey ginger juice to alleviate some of their cold symptoms. My mom used to make it for me when I was a kid and now it's my turn to spread the love bug, not flu bug! Ha.
Here's what you'll need —
4 cups of hot water
2 lemons
5 slices of ginger
4 tbsps of honey
Mix it all up like it's sangria (mmm...sangria). Let it simmer for a bit to extract that ginger zing. Feel free to add more ginger or honey! And you really don't need to be sick to sip on this. It's delicious for no-reason-kinda days! Enjoy!
