Soothing Vitamin C Tea & Sore Throat
At the first sign of a scratchy throat or sniffley nose I head to the store to pick up oranges, grapefruit, lemon and ginger root. For an outstanding tea extraordinarily high in Vitamin C - wash the skins of the citrus fruits with a mild dish soap and squeeze the juice from two halved oranges, one half of the grapefruit and a halved lemon into two cups of water in a pan. Add the squeezed-out rinds and bring the mixture to a boil, allowing it to boil for 5 minutes. Then simmer for one hour. Remove rinds and pour yourself a steaming cup of citrus tea guaranteed to soothe your throat and give your body a much needed dose of Vitamin C to help fight the invading virus.
I sometimes add a teaspoon of rose hips, a slice of ginger or honey to add more zing and if hot tea doesn't send you, this is just as tasty cold. Store any leftovers in the fridge and heat up when needed.
