How to Make Cold And Flu Remedy Tea

  1. Combine 4 cups of water, 1 inch piece of ginger (peeled and thinly sliced), 2 cinnamon sticks, 4 whole cloves, and 1-2 small dried red chilies (adjust to your spice preference) in a small saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half and fragrant.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tablespoons honey (or to taste), and the zest of 1 orange.
  4. Stir in the juice of 1/2 lemon.
  5. Add orange slices to 4 tall glasses.
  6. Strain the tea mixture into the glasses using a fine-mesh sieve to remove solids.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy! Add a lemon wedge for extra zing.
