Keep Calm and Drink Tea. Lemon and Calendula Tea That Is!

I have been feeling a bit under the weather in the last few days. My tropical genes is struggling with the sudden chilly winter blast this last week. I started to have a bit of sniffle and cough. 

This homemade immunity booster tea is my go to drink to help alleviate the cold symptoms. I made quite a few at the start of winter to prepare for this kind of situation and we have been brewing them as needed. 

I added a few dried Calendula flowers in it. It was very refreshing and I'm glad to report that I am now feeling better.

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.
