Even though winter is a lovely time of year, our immune systems may suffer during this season. There are a variety of potential causes for this, including the stress of the holidays, a lack of vitamin D, and the common cold, but regardless, it frequently leads to cold or flu-like symptoms. When life gives you lemons, as the saying goes, make lemonade. In this situation, you specifically make a detox lemonade to reenergize you and strengthen your immune system.
The mixture of ingredients used in the detox lemonade is what makes it so effective. The lemons' vitamin C boosts the immune system, but the recipe also contains cayenne pepper and honey. These two ingredients' combined strength helps to improve digestion while reducing inflammation. Not to mention the ginger and cloves, both of which have antioxidants and a number of other advantages! Enough with the details; you'll just have to give it a shot. Here’s what you’ll need:
First, you’ll want to cut a lemon in half and squeeze the juice out of it into a mug of your choice. Though you’ll only need one lemon, feel free to add more lemon juice for the right amount of bite.
Next, pour in a teaspoon of honey (though again, nobody will know if you add a little bit more to get the balance of sweet and sour just right). After that, add your pinch of cayenne and your pinch of ground cloves and stir the entire mixture together.
Finally, add one cup of hot water and garnish the drink with a slice of lemon. After letting it cool to an appropriate temperature, sit back and enjoy!
