Feb 14 Apothe-Cary Recipes: Vitamin Citrus Elixir

Happy Valentines Day love bugs! I'm starting a new series called ApotheCARY Recipes. (Pretty clever right? ) And what better way to start than sending you healing love on Valentines Day!

Herbal elixirs, tonics, potions. They go by many names. What they all have in common is their powerful antioxidant benefits from herbs and spices. This series is about healthy tonics for your health and well-being. First up, Vitamin Citrus Elixir.

Since it's flu season, it's a great idea to supercharge on vitamin C. Vitamin C builds your immunity to prevent illness. This tonic is packed with natural vitamin C that we get from citrus fruits with an herbal twist. Make this elixir for you and your loved ones. One of the best ways to show that you care about someone is to take care of the ones you love. <3

Ingredients:

1 Orange
1 Grapefruit
1 Lemon
1 Lime
1-2 inches of Peeled Ginger
Handful of Basil
1 Green Tea Sachet
1 Tsp Honey

Pass the orange, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peeled ginger, and basil through a juicer. Add the green tea sachet to 1 cup of hot water. Let it steep for a few minutes, then add the honey to tea and stir. Pour all the ingredients into a cup. Now its ready to drink. Chase this elixir with a glass of water.
