Immune-Boosting Lemon and Echinacea Tea

This immune-boosting tea is a great way to stay healthy during cold and flu season. The lemon provides vitamin C, which is essential for a healthy immune system. Echinacea is an herb that has been shown to have antiviral and antibacterial properties. Honey is a natural sweetener that also has antibacterial properties.

This recipe was inspired by a trip to the farmers market. I was browsing the stalls when I came across a woman selling fresh lemons and echinacea. I asked her about the echinacea, and she told me that it is a great herb for boosting the immune system. I decided to buy some of the echinacea and lemons, and I went home and made this tea. The tea was delicious and refreshing, and I felt great after drinking it. I have been making this tea regularly ever since.
