Health Elixir

Add a couple of tablespoons in a mug of tea or hot water, add some more honey to taste, and this will keep you feeling good all winter long.

The zest of 3 organic lemons
3 organic zested lemons (with tips cut off and pith removed) each cut into 6 pieces
3" of ginger (peeled and sliced)
1 teaspoon of dried ginger
1/2 - 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (don't skimp, this is your decongestant)

2 Tablespoons turmeric 
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar (natural with mother)
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup honey (or more to taste)

Blend all ingredients together in blender or food processor, put in quart jar and keep in the refrigerator. Shake well before use and add 3 tablespoons to a hot mug of tea, adding extra honey if you like it sweet.

Enjoy a daily mug all winter long but especially if congested or sick. The ingredients are specific to building up your immune system and lowering inflamation.
