We have a bit of a summer cold going around. I offered one child some hot vinegar tea but no one wants a hot drink when it is hot outside. So off to the kitchen to make a healing summer cold drink.
1 tablespoon of raw honey
1 ounce of hot water to dissolve the honey
3 ounces of cold water
juice of 1 lime
ice
Dissolve honey in hot water. Add cold water, lime juice and ice. Mix. Enjoy!
My kids loved this drink. It tastes like limeaid.
Son: Mommy, what is in this?
Mommy: Lime juice, honey, water
Son: What in this is good for a cold?
Mommy: Lime juice, honey, water
Lime has vitamin C, other nutrients and is alkalizing.
Honey is antiviral and antibacterial.
Water is hydrating.
So there you have it. A yummy drink for when you are sick or when you are not! :)
