Green Tea Elixir
When I'm sick I drink Green Tea Elixir on repeat! This powerful antioxidant-rich beverage will have your immune system in top shape in no time.
Ingredients
- 6 cups water
- ½ cup ginger chopped with skin on
- 1 lemon medium or large, sliced
- 4 bags green tea or 4 teaspoons
- honey to taste
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar optional
Instructions
- Put water, chopped fresh ginger, and lemon in the water.
- Bring to a boil.
- Add 4 bags or 4 teaspoons of your favourite green tea. (My fave is a raspberry hibiscus loose leaf, hence the colour.)
- Take it off the heat and let steep about 10 minutes, minimum.
- In your cup add honey to taste and an optional 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, fill up your cup with this delicious elixir!
- As with all things I make, buy the best ingredients within your means, this is medicine after all.
Notes
- I make it in this pot so I can just warm up another cup easily when needed.

This stuff is it!! I really enjoy drinking this all through the winter. I will even make large batches and enjoy it cold. If I feel a little something coming on I will amp up my intake and feel it knock out whatever is ailing me. Thank you for this recipe.
