Honey & Ginger Immune-Boosting Tonic

Simmering the ginger for a few minutes before straining draws out more flavor than a quick steep would, giving this tonic a real warmth.

Honey and ginger are a classic pairing in home remedies for immune support, which is why this tonic is tagged that way — both are commonly reached for during colder months or when you just want something soothing. A splash of lemon juice and a pinch of cinnamon round it out.

Strain into mugs and drink warm, ideally while it's still steaming.

Fresh ginger makes a noticeably stronger tonic than powdered, so adjust the amount to your taste if you prefer it milder. This is an easy one to make a larger batch of and reheat by the mugful throughout the day.
