Yesterday I felt like I was coming down with a cold/flu or something. As I have no insurance I thought it best that I try to nip it in the bud. I was a bit congested and my eyes were running; I just knew that in a day or so it would be bad. I loaded up on fluids and decided to bust out the tomato tea recipe:
2 cups low sodium tomato juice ( I used V8)
4 cloves of garlic
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Cayenne pepper to taste ( mine was extra spicy)
Bring to a slow boil over medium heat. Sip slowly and deliberately, inhaling all the goodness!
I had about a cup and even ate a couple of the garlic cloves. Before I was even done drinking it, I felt my nose unclog. I finished it off and decided to go to bed.
When I woke up I was markedly better but still feeling a little off. I heated up the other cup of tea and had it with breakfast. By mid afternoon I was great. I don’t know if it was the tea or it was my mind willing my body not to get sick. I can share the news of the tea but my mind is off limits!
