We’re smack bang in the middle of Winter and (may I assume) have spent the majority of the last month partying and no doubt mistreating our bodies. It’s only natural that we’re probably going to start suffering for it soon… This is my favourite winter remedy to warn off colds and flu.

Ingredients

1/2 lemon

2 teaspoons of Manuka Honey (ordinary honey will also do)

1 teaspoon of finely cut ginger

300ml of boiling hot water

Step 1

Add water to kettle and set to boil.

Step 2

Squeeze half a lemon into a mug Add 2 teaspoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of finely cut ginger. You can add the squeezed lemon remainder into the mug too (just make sure it’s not waxed).

Step 3

Once boiled, pour hot water over the ingredients in the mug. Stir well.

Step 4

Find somewhere cosy to sit and enjoy.
