Why This Flu Fighting Tea Works
🍋
Lemon
Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, lemon strengthens immunity, helps fight off infections, and supports hydration. It also adds a bright, refreshing flavor that complements the warming spices.
🫚
Fresh Ginger
Ginger is well-known for its anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties. It helps reduce nausea, soothe throat irritation, and open up congested airways.
🌿
Cinnamon Stick
Cinnamon is packed with antioxidants and helps reduce inflammation. It also naturally warms the body, promoting better circulation—essential when you’re feeling chilled or run down.
🌸
Cloves
These tiny spices are powerful antibacterial and antiviral agents. They’re excellent for soothing sore throats and boosting overall immune strength.
🌶️
Cayenne Pepper
Just a pinch helps clear sinuses, stimulate circulation, and fight inflammation. It also gives the tea a gentle heat that feels amazing when you’re under the weather.
🍯
Raw Honey
Honey coats the throat, eases coughing, and provides antibacterial benefits. It also adds the perfect natural sweetness to balance all the spices.
