Well it’s that time of year (or is it just year round now) that we all are wanting a little boost in our immunity to fend off all the season’s colds, flus, covid and whatever else is lingering out there.
My good friend had just gotten back from spending the holidays abroad and her entire family came down with something. She was lucky enough to make it through unscathed when it hit her. She works in the medical field so she really knows what is going on and how to handle it all, but this one really got her down. Another friend of hers dropped off some homemade "immunity bomb" pucks and she really credits them for helping her finally turn a corner.
She asked for the recipe, made her own batch and shared it with all of us so we can make our own little golden nuggets and be ready for whatever comes at us. Also, what a great thing to drop off to a sick friend!
I had to ask if you can buy turmeric and she sent me this picture. :)
Ingredients:
6 lemons, peeled and seeded
4 pieces of ginger, cleaned well (she said you can peel it or not, she did not)
4 pieces of turmeric, cleaned well (can substitute with 2 Tbl. of ground turmeric- same with the peeling of the ginger, up to you, but not necessary.)
1 C. water
Honey
Directions:
Toss the lemons, ginger, turmeric and water into a blender and blend until combined.
*A little note on not peeling the ginger or turmeric, I always peel my ginger for recipes so I was a little leery about leaving it on, but she gave me a few pucks of hers when I wasn't feeling well in a batch that she had not peeled them, and I would've never known. Long story short, don't waste your time.
Freeze them in ice cube trays and then just dump them into a freezer ziplock and save until needed/wanted. They're good in the freezer for about a month. When you are ready to use, put one or two pucks into a mug and fill with hot water. Stir in honey, let it melt and enjoy the soothing, citrus sensation. Drink it with a spoon handy...just to keep mixing the small amounts of pulp.
My girlfriend shared this must have recipe with me and then shared some of her Immunity Bomb Pucks with me when I was sick just a week later. It tasted like health in mug, and I was so grateful she dropped them off. Keep this one handy girls and stay healthy Babblers!!
