Anti-Inflammatory Ginger Turmeric Tea

Temperatures are dropping, plus it is cold and flu season. Whenever I start to get a tickle in my throat, it’s time to act fast. I use this recipe when I feel like I’m about to come down with something (I hope that’t not just southern slang). Or if I just want to cozy up with a nice warm cup a tea it works for that too. Give it a try and let me know your thoughts.
