Feel a cold coming on...

My roommates call this recipe "witch tea" because it instantly cures colds. Little do they know I put a small blessing on each cup.

Tonight I felt a cold coming on so I made some more. I've found that the start of any school year brings a whole new mixture of germs and I always get sick. For others who also feel the "freshman cold" coming on try this tea:

-one bag of green tea (or any other teas-here I used tazo passion tea)
-a spoonful of local unfiltered honey
-juice from half a lime
-a sprinkle of cinnamon
-hot water
-short prayer to the goddess for good health and thanking her for her blessings

It tastes sort of disgusting but it will cure everything. Well maybe not everything but it will keep away a cold pretty well. Image

Sounds like a brilliant brew. If you are able to add a pinch of ginger, or Turmeric that will boost your immune system too. But its great as it is too.

I looks really yummy, but I can imagine its like hot, sweet, bitter, sharp, soaked hay haha. But that's just me. I'm not a fan of green tea. I know its good for you but blergh......

mmmm
Honey lime and cinnamon, that sounds yummy...it may have been the tea flavor that made it ucky. The ginger is good too. I'm not sure you need the tea, that may be just some more flavor and you are going for the cold fighting properties which are in the cinnamon, lime (lemon works too) and ginger. Tumeric is a great anti too, but in my opinion that one takes some getting used to.
