Lots of my clients, friends and family are down with the flu right now and I myself lost my voice last weekend while shooting my soon to be released project for 2020! I have to say, I feel for all of you out there and I hope you schedule some rest and relaxation into your holiday time so that you can properly recover.

Here is a natural remedy for clearing out your throat that will help you recover. It is also packed with vitamins and will hydrate you! And it’s so strong tasting that if you lost your sense of taste…you’ll probably get it back with this.

Cayenne Kicker   

This healthy, flu-fighting drink has some serious *POW* and is not for the meek! Take this in the morning to cleanse the body as a shot (reduce the amount of liquid significantly and halve the ingredients) or throughout the day as a drink (make as instructed below). If taking as a drink, swish around in your mouth before swallowing every time.

Below are 3 of my favourite varieties of recipes.

Serves 1

To make, combine all ingredients in a blender, including the whole chunks of lemon (do not juice it) and blend until well combined. Blend in a bit of ice if you’d like it to be colder. Serve immediately in a mason jar or shot glass.

• 2 lemons, peeled and cut in half
• 1 inch piece of ginger root, peeled and chopped into pieces
• 1 Tbsp raw honey
