Immune-Boosting Refreshing Summer Drink

We all have those days when we’re not feeling our best, and this past weekend was one of those for me. After a rough few days, I decided to whip up an immune-boosting beverage that would not only help me bounce back but also keep me cool and refreshed in the summer heat. This drink is packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and other immune-supporting ingredients, making it the perfect pick-me-up.

If you’re in the same boat and need something to rejuvenate your body, why not try making this simple yet effective immune-boosting beverage? It’s easy to prepare, loaded with health benefits, and tastes great too. Here’s how you can make approximately four glasses of this revitalising drink.

Ingredients:

• 35g ginger (peeled)
• 5g turmeric (peeled)
• Juice from 3 lemons
• 1L filtered water
• 30g raw honey
• A pinch of Celtic sea salt

Method:

1. Start by peeling the ginger and turmeric. If you prefer a mess-free kitchen, feel free to leave out the turmeric—your drink will still pack a punch!
2. Freshly squeeze the juice from three lemons. This will give your immune-boosting beverage a bright, tangy flavour while loading it with vitamin C.
3. Add the ginger, turmeric, lemon juice, filtered water, raw honey, and a pinch of Celtic sea salt to a blender. Blend until smooth.
4. Serve and Enjoy! The combination of ginger and lemon offers a refreshing zing, while the honey adds just the right amount of sweetness.

Ginger and turmeric are renowned for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, while lemon juice provides a hefty dose of vitamin C. Raw honey not only sweetens the drink but also adds antibacterial and antioxidant properties, making this beverage as beneficial as it is delicious.

So, if you’re feeling a bit under the weather or simply want to enjoy a nutritious and refreshing drink on a warm day, give this recipe a try. Your body will thank you! And don’t forget to let me know how it turns out—I’d love to hear your thoughts.
