Ingredients
  • ¾ cup freshly squeezed blood orange juice
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 large hunk of ginger, peeled and coined (or 1 Tablespoon dried ginger)
  • 5 pods cardamom (optional)
  • 4 allspice berries (optional)
  • 5 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ cup raw honey (or ⅓ cup for a less sweet drink)
Instructions
  1. Bring water to a boil in a pan and add the ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice and cinnamon sticks. Boil until liquid is significantly reduced, about 30 minutes.
  2. Before cutting the citrus, roll them on the counter with your palm to release the juices. Squeeze all of the citrus juice.
  3. Once reduced, strain the concentrated spice mixture. Allow to cool slightly then add the honey and stir to dissolve. Add the citrus juice last to preserve the vitamin C, pour into jar/s and store in fridge.
  4. To make tea, give the jar a gentle shake to mix up any spices that may have settled to the bottom and add 3-4 large spoonfuls of concentrate to hot water.
ENJOY and BE WELL!!
