Lemon Ginger Tea {Winter Elixir}

With all the birthday festivities this week and those nasty winter germs floating around, I’m doing anything and everything I can think of to keep from getting a cold. That tickle in the back of your throat, the sneezing and high temperature, let’s face it, being sick sucks.

Luckily, I’ve found just the thing to make me feel better and sooth even the nastiest of winter colds. I’ve always been a believer of hot water with lemon and honey or a hot toddy but this jar of lemon slices with ginger and honey is pure magic.
