Get Through The Flu Herbal Tea

Stay hydrated and nourished when you or your family come down with the flu. This anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, mineral-rich Get Through The Flu Herbal Tea is exactly what sick bodies need. With the benefits of nettle, cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric, it helps your body heal naturally. It's delicious as-is, however your intuition may guide you to add stevia for sweetness, raw honey to soothe a sore throat, or fresh lemon juice for extra Vitamin C.

Instructions

  1. Add the nettle, fresh ginger, peppermint leaves, cinnamon, turmeric, and black pepper to a French press or loose-leaf tea pot.
  2. Fill the French press or loose-leaf tea pot with just-boiled water. I LOVE my electric ceramic tea kettle!
  3. Steep at least 5 minutes and up to 10 minutes.
  4. Pour into tea cups or mugs. Add a slice of lemon, raw honey, or stevia, if desired.
  5. Drink liberally during illness, especially the cold or flu.
