Ingredients You’ll Need

Each ingredient in these immunity cubes plays a special role in boosting your immune system and promoting overall well-being:

🍋 1 cup of fresh lemon juice – A great source of Vitamin C + helps support the immune system and fights free radicals.

🌱 1/4 cup of fresh ginger (peeled and chopped) – Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory and aids in digestion!

🌿 1 teaspoon of fresh or dried thyme – A powerful herb known for its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.

💛 1 inch of fresh turmeric root (optional, but highly recommended) – This golden root is packed with curcumin, a compound known for its anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.

🧄 1 small garlic clove (optional) – Known as nature’s antibiotic... garlic helps the body fight off colds and infections.

How to Make Immunity Cubes

These cubes are SO easy to prepare

• Prepare Your Ingredients:

  • Juice your lemons and strain to remove any seeds. (Sometimes I'll just blend the whole lemon, rind and all).

  • Peel and roughly chop your ginger.

  • If using turmeric, peel and chop it as well.

  • Peel the garlic clove if adding.

1. Blend Everything Together:

   • Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.

   • Blend until completely smooth. If necessary, add a splash of water to help blend.

2. Freeze into Cubes:

   • Pour the mixture into an ice cube tray.

   • Place in the freezer and let freeze completely. Now you have handy immunity cubes ready whenever you need!

3. Store for Later:

   • Once frozen, pop the cubes out of the tray and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag.

   • Keep them in the freezer for up to 3-6 months.

Using these cubes is as simple as making a cup of tea!

1. Drop one cube into a mug of hot water.

2. Let it dissolve and stir well.

3. Add a teaspoon of local, raw honey for added antimicrobial benefits and a touch of sweetness.

4. Sip & enjoy!
