You know it’s that time of year again once everyone around you starts getting sick and you start getting paranoid about when you’re going to end up with the same cold or flu that hit your friends and family the previous week. While washing your hands frequently is always a good call, we like to whip up an easy, immunity-boosting recipe to help our bodies along and keep us feeling our best despite all the bugs going around. If you haven’t heard already, lemon water or tea can have really wonderful effects on your body, but we didn’t want to stop there.
Ginger is also a great ingredient to incorporate into your daily diet, since it helps reduce inflammation and can also be a great aid in fighting nausea. We combined these two core ingredients into one, immunity-boosting, detox ice cube, so now when you boil your water, all you have to do is drop once cube in; it not only cools down your beverage to the perfect drinking temperature, but it also provides you with the perfect daily dose of lemon and ginger, so you can fight off whatever’s going around the office or school and stay healthy!
