Ingredients
Fresh or dried oregano leaves
Filtered water
Raw honey for natural sweetness and antimicrobial support
Fresh lemon juice for vitamin C and detoxifying properties
Optional: fresh ginger, cinnamon stick, or a clove of garlic for added immune support
Instructions
Begin by boiling water and preparing your oregano. If using fresh oregano, gently crush the leaves to release their oils.
For dried oregano, use a tea strainer or cheesecloth to prevent loose leaves from floating in your elixir.
Add your herbs to the water and let them steep for several minutes to fully extract the medicinal compounds.
Strain the mixture into a heatproof cup or jar, removing all leaves and optional ingredients like ginger or cinnamon.
While the elixir is still warm, stir in raw honey to taste and squeeze in some fresh lemon juice. Allow it to cool slightly before drinking, or refrigerate for later use.
This elixir can be sipped warm for a soothing tea experience or taken as a tonic by the spoonful. It’s especially beneficial when consumed at the onset of symptoms or during seasonal transitions when immunity tends to dip.
