Ginger tea tones and restores the body’s defenses, which decrease during colds and flu. You can finely grate a small slice, steep it for about 10 minutes in water, then strain the liquid. It is important to know that tea can become stronger than coffee if you overdo it. So grate or boil some ginger.

Ginger, honey, and lemon – a magical mixture
Some call it the magic jar. It contains ginger, honey, and lemon. The mixture is prepared both for colds and flu and for daily use as a strong antioxidant. To do this, take a piece of ginger (the size of your little finger), and grate it on the smallest part of the grater. You squeeze a lemon and put all this in a small mashed jar, to which you add 4-5 tablespoons of honey. It is good to keep it in the refrigerator and eat the “magic” mixture 3-4 times a day.
