Author Notes
My intention with this recipe was to be as healthy and fresh as possible. So here are the ingredients I chose:
Beef Bone Broth: We’re talking calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. Packed with gelatin, a protein that is incredibly healing for you – this is where your joints fall in love with you. It’s also known to make any sore throat feel better.
Garlic and Basil: Garlic contains allicin, a natural antibiotic. Garlic activates the cascade of cells in your body that stimulates your immune system. Garlic also has germanium, which is preventative towards cancer. It thins blood the same way aspirin does.
Ginger: Ginger is awesome for nausea. It helps alleviate headaches and can prevent kidney damage in relation to diabetes. It decreases inflammation in throats and alleviates itchiness.
Apple Cider Vinegar: The ultimate toxic flush. It soothes both constipation and diarrhea, help lower blood pressure and overcome high cholesterol.
Raw Honey: This deserves its own post, which you can find on my website. —Skylor Powell
