Angelique’s Immune Support Tonic
During the cooler weather, there’s nothing better than curling up under a blanket with a good book and a steaming hot drink. Try swapping tea or coffee for this amazing elixir that’s packed full of ingredients that support healthy immune function.
I drink it whenever I can as it contains plenty of anti-inflammatory turmeric, ginger and honey – three wonder foods when it comes to fighting off colds and flu! I also love adding lemon and warming cinnamon, which can help to stabilise blood sugars. All in all, the perfect restorative drink.
Ingredients
500ml boiled water
1 cinnamon stick
2inch chunk of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
2inch chunk of fresh turmeric root, peeled and sliced
1 Lemon, juiced
Sprinkling of black pepper
1 tsp Manuka honey (optional)
*If you cannot find fresh ginger or turmeric root you can use powdered.
Method
Add all ingredients to a tea pot or cup and steep in the boiling water for 5-10mins and enjoy.

that sound delicious, how much powdered ginger & turmeric will it be on 500ml?
thank you
Thanks Michaela,
Use 1 level teaspoon of each and up to 1.5 teaspoons if you like it a little stronger.
Enjoy! Angelique
Just made this (I’m drinking it now, while looking at your recipes) and I love it!
Will definitely make this again.
Thank you.
That is wonderful to hear Sabrina, so pleased you love it! I have it most days especially when it’s cold and grey outside.
