Ingredients

  • 1 orange, sliced
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 4-5 cardamom pods, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • ¼ teaspoon of peppercorn
  • 6 cups of water
  • Your choice of sweetener

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil. Once it boils, cover the pot and reduce heat. Let it simmer until the citrus fruit has softened.
  2. Strain out the beverage and serve with your choice of sweetener.

Notes

  • Adjust the simmer time: Depending on your preferred flavor profile.
  • Tweak the flavors: Increase or decrease the ginger or other ingredients to taste after making your first ‘test’ batch. You should also sweeten the citrus, ginger, and cinnamon tea to taste.
  • Reuse the ingredients: Keep them in your saucepan and top them up with another 6 cups of water for a second round of immune tea.
