Immunity Shots -
Makes 4 quarts

4 Quarts Water
200 grams Ginger
4-5 Cinnamon Sticks
4 Tbsp. Cloves
1 cup lemon and lime juice
1 to 1 1/3 cup honey


Slice ginger into 1/8" - 1/4" slices. Bring water to a boil. Add ginger, cloves, and cinnamon sticks. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Juice lemons and limes. Pour 1/4 cup juice in each quart jar. Once the tea has simmered for 20 minutes, strain the chunks out and let cool down until it is between 100 and 110 degrees. Depending on your blender, you may need to do this in 2 or more batches. I split it into 2 batches. So half of the honey goes in the blender with half of the tea. Pulse to mix the honey into the tea. Pour into two quarts jars. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. We take 1 shot(about 2 ounces) every morning during the cold months. We will also warm it up and mix in Chamomile or Hibiscus for a delicious tea! Enjoy!
