Girls Gide

Unfortunately, I have been sick 4 times now in 2 months, I have taken all the medicine that is supposed to nurture me back to health. However, I haven’t really been making any progress, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. I have made my Italian Medicine Soup, and I have made The Gold Elixir drink. This drink contains many vitamins and is extremely soothing if you have a sore throat. This elixir is the one thing that really helped to soothe my sore throat. It does burn and might sting a bit but this is because of the sharpness of the ginger. The drink contains some products that are a bit more expensive, but I will also give cheaper alternatives that will also work great.

Ingredients

• a ginger shot
• ginger (about the size of your thumb)
• 1/2 lemon
• 1 teaspoon Manuka honey
• hot water

Recipe

1. You can either make your own ginger shot or buy one. I like to use the one with just ginger from the Juice Brothers, but you can also opt for one that has other juices in it. If you have tried the shot and is not very strong I would recommend adding to of the ginger shots to the elixir.
2. If you want to make it even stronger you can always put an extra piece of peeled and cut ginger in to the drink. Now also add the juice of half a lemon to the cup and give it a little stir.
3. Personally, I use Manuka honey 340 MGO, I use one teaspoon for this recipe. Manuka honey has a lot of beneficial properties which I will list at the end of this post. But it is also a bit on the expensive side. So if you still want to make the elixir, you can also use regular honey. It would be best if the honey is organic and locally sourced, but I understand that this isn’t always available.
4. Now boil some water and add this to the elixir, make sure you let it cooldown so that you don’t burn your self. Drink it warm and give it a little stir before drinking it.
