Are you sick of living in a household full of sickness bouncing from one family member to the next?
In today's fast-paced world, keeping our immune systems strong is more important than ever. One of the best ways to give your body a natural boost is through what we like to call "Immunity Bombs." These potent, flavourful cubes are packed with ingredients known for their immune-boosting properties. Here's a simple recipe using ginger, apple cider vinegar, honey, oranges, lemons, black pepper, turmeric, and water.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup of fresh ginger (grated): Known for its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to aid digestion.
- 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar: Helps balance the body's pH levels and has antimicrobial properties.
- 3 oranges: Rich in vitamin C, which is essential for a healthy immune system.
- 3 lemons: Another great source of vitamin C and antioxidants.
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper: Enhances the absorption of turmeric.
- 1 tablespoon of fresh, grated turmeric: Has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
- 2-3 tablespoons of honey: rich in antioxidants, natural energy booster, promotes digestive health AND wound healing with antibacterial properties.
- A little bit of water: Helps blend all the ingredients together.
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ginger: Peel, chop and grate the ginger and the turmeric.
- Peel and cut up the citrus (oranges and lemons). Remove any seeds to ensure a smooth consistency.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, combine the ginger juice, honey, orange juice, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, black pepper, and water.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and the texture is smooth. Add more water if required.
- Strain (Optional): If you prefer a smoother consistancy, strain the mixture to remove any pulp or ginger fibers.
- Pour and freeze: Pour the immunity bombs into silicone ice trays and pop in the freezer.
- Store: Once frozen, pop cubes out of trays and store in a Sinchies reusable ziplock bag.
Storage Tip:
For longer storage, freeze your immunity bombs in Sinchies reusable ziplock bags. This way, you can prepare a larger batch and have them ready whenever you need. Simply pop the cubes into the Sinchies bags, seal them tightly, and place them in the freezer. This method ensures that your immunity bombs stay fresh and potent for an extended period.
Tips for Enjoying Your Immunity Bombs:
