Immuni-Tea Cubes


We’ve created a nutrient-dense powerhouse to help ward off colds and flu. Simply freeze it in cubes, then take one out, add boiling water and a touch of sweetener, and enjoy a soothing, immune-boosting tea! We developed this recipe with our friends at Namawell Juice Company, who make fantastic upright masticating juicers. Learn more about them here and use the code HAPPYPEAR10 for 10% off.

Takes 5 hours 10 minutes

Serves 10

Ingredients
 

  • 6 whole citrus fruits we used a combination of oranges, blood orange, lime and lemon
  • 1 thumb sized piece of ginger
  • 1 thumb sized piece of fresh turmeric or 1 tablespoon of ground turmeric
  • ½ tsp black pepper corns or ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions
 

Prepare your ingredients:

  • Peel the citrus fruits, ginger, and turmeric if using fresh.

Juice your ingredients:

  • Feed the citrus fruits, ginger, turmeric, black peppercorns, and coconut oil into your Namawell juicer.
  • Tip: If using ground turmeric and black pepper instead of fresh, do not put these through the juicer as they can stain the juicer. Instead, mix them into the juice after juicing.
  • The coconut oil helps to enhance nutrient absorption, especially for fat-soluble compounds like curcumin in turmeric. Black pepper contains piperine, which increases the bioavailability of curcumin, making the nutrients even more potent.

Freeze into cubes:

  • Pour the juice into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid.

Make your tea:

  • When you’re ready to enjoy, pop a cube into a mug, add boiling water, and stir in your preferred sweetener (honey, agave, or maple syrup).

Sip and feel amazing:

  • Enjoy your immunity-boosting tea and let its warming and nourishing benefits help keep colds and flus at bay!

Notes

Why Black Pepper and Coconut Oil Matter
  • Black Pepper: Its piperine enhances the absorption of curcumin in turmeric by up to 2,000%, making the tea more effective in supporting your immune system.
  • Coconut Oil: The healthy fats help your body absorb fat-soluble nutrients like curcumin and other antioxidants from the citrus fruits, making this drink as nourishing as it is delicious.
