Alternative Method for Immunity Booster Brew

I tried another method to brew the Immunity Booster herbal drink. This time I cooked them gently on the stove top. Same ingredient as last time, orange, lemon, turmeric, dried orange peel and a few herbs from the garden, dried olive leaves, yarrow and calendula flower:

Immunity Booster Floral Herbal Drink

Just a bit of natural immunity booster in the wake of uncertain times. This is from the batch of orange, lemon and turmeric that I prepared, packed and froze a few weeks ago.

I brewed this for my 5 year old and added some honey. He drank it really fast and said "Yummm!!"

For mine, I added some dried olive leaves, calendula flowers and rose petals.

Kids Friendly Natural Immunity Booster (Orange Based)

This is my kids-friendly natural immunity booster that works for my five year old. I started giving this to him since he was around 4 years old. 

The combination is orange based, so we refer to it as "juice", but it has ginger and turmeric in it.

For this recipe, I used:

3 oranges

1 lemon

around 4 cm of fresh ginger (can be replaced with minced ginger in jar)

3 tablespoon of turmeric powder (adjust to your liking)

When serving, add honey to your liking.

I cut up the oranges and lemon into roughly segment of 1.5-2 cm, doesn't have to be precise.

And the ginger, I cut the up into tiny cubes, as small as possible.

Scatter the turmeric on the cut up fruits and mix to combine.

Put them in small to medium size jars or containers and put straight into freezer. 

When needed, defrost it and add 2-3 tablespoons of the mix into 500ml boiling water. Boil for 7-10 minutes, strain and add honey.

For adult, I also add a few (5-6) dried olive leaves from my garden into the boiling water as well.

The olive leaves will add bitterness, so it won't be kids friendly.
