Joe came down with a doozy of a head cold over the weekend – poor guy was either sneezing or sleeping. Blackberries + ginger + lemon juice = a soothing tea which is a multiple immune booster. It’s easy to make, all of the ingredients go into one pan. You can drink it hot, or let it cool down and add ice.
- 1 1/2 cups blackberries (or blueberries)
- juice of 2 1/2 lemons
- 2 thumb sizes piece of fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 2 cups water
- 4 tablespoons honey
- Push grates ginger through a fine mesh sieve.
- Add all the ingredients plus ginger juice into a pan and simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes. Mash the fruit with a masher or fork.
- Remove from heat and strain. Serve hot.
