Zippy Toddy

Zippy Toddy

FOOD AS MEDICINE:

The zippy toddy acts as an expectorant, thins mucus, aids in nausea, aids with sleep, and boosts immune function with vitamin C. I concocted this tonic herbal drink to assist my liver and it has quickly become one of my favorites to aid in inflammation and even seasonal allergies.

INGREDIENTS:

2 ½ cups hot water
⅓ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely minced
2 tablespoons wild unfiltered honey

DIRECTIONS:

Combine all ingredients and stir or make in a stock pot after you cut the heat from lightly simmering water.
