This Lemon Turmeric Ginger Tea has so many health benefits that you should be drinking it every morning. My husband & I drink it every morning upon waking on an empty stomach for the best benefits. 

I call it my flu shot in a mug!

Also, if you do end up sick from a cold or flu, drink this several times a day. It is so soothing. Also, make sure you are drinking plenty of Bone Broth.  Learn how to make it here. If you get a cough, check out my recipe for Homemade Cough Syrup. This is the best Cough Syrup I have found. Better than anything over the counter without all the nasty chemicals. 

Drinking this Lemon Turmeric Ginger Tea daily helps me tremendously to get through allergy season! I used to get severe allergy symptoms every spring including sinus infections. Ever since I have been drinking this tea I hardly have any symptoms at all.  I haven’t had a sinus infection in years! And believe me, I used to get them every. single. year!
