Immune Boosting Tea Recipe

Immune Boosting Tea Recipe

For those of you who ordered the Echinacea herb box, you got a bag of Immune Boosting Tea in your box. This recipe is not in the magazine. I am not sure how we missed including it, but here it is now, for you to enjoy. Mix up a big batch of this tea and enjoy it at the first sign of immune system sluggishness. We can’t make “medical claims” but I can say that this tea is wonderful to take in large copious doses at the first sign of cold or flu (or pretty much any infection) to help kick your immune system into high gear. It is especially useful for conditions that make you hot, and your body needs to sweat out the fever and cool down, while supporting proper immune system function.
