Welcome to the Big Five!

       Okay,the honey and root ginger are not so obviously identified here,but the lemon,garlic and chillies are!These are my top 5 kitchen ingredients that are always at hand,and as fresh as possible.Why? Because this recipe is so effective at keeping us healthy and free of colds,flu and infections. It's a powerhouse of natural medicine that is easily available and affordable,anytime of year!
       It comes from South America,and I thank them for it many times over whenever we need a boost to our immune systems.

For 2 people you will need:
2 fresh lemons (whole)
3 cloves garlic (peeled)
5cms root ginger (peeled)
1 medium/mild chilli (deseeded)
1 tbsp runny honey (or to taste)

Juice the first 4 ingredients,pour into 2 cups and top up with boiling water.Then stir in the honey.
Sip slowly,wrap up warmly and go to bed.Repeat the following day if necessary.

       If you haven't got a juicer,it's very easy to make this drink with a knife,grater/garlic press and lemon squeezer.
And remember to wash your hands after touching chillies,as they can be hot on delicate skin.
       Cheers...here's to your good health!
