Lemon Ginger Honey Wellness Tea

Cold weather has finally settled in Northern Vermont and with it comes…. Sniffles, stuffy noses, coughs a sore throats. Just those cruddy symptoms that seem to linger and make everyone a little bit more cranky. Yesterday my 12 year old asked me why I hadn’t made “the stuff” yet. In our house we keep a mason jar of “the stuff” in the fridge and the boys make tea out of it all season long. It’s SO easy to make and is packed full of immunity fighting goodness.

Due to all of the antiviral and antimicrobial properties in the ingredients this will keep through the winter in the fridge. I love these jars for this.
