Exploring & enjoying good foods especially w/ my loved ones in nature is how I unwind. Adding a hot toddy on a crisp day of exploring, is one of my favorite ways to recharge.
In the picture to the left we are at #mamaloose state park. It's a great spot to bring a packed lunch and stomp around.
On rainy or snowy days (when were back in AK, it can get painfully chilly) cold & flu bugs run ramped. Less sunshine + travel + increased indoor time = havoc on our immune system.
Below ingredients include fresh squeezed lemon juice, raw honey + cinnamon, a trio of antimicrobial & anti-inflammatory.
FUN FACTS - Cinnamon comes from a tree...the tree bark to be specific. Research has shown that cinnamon is a great supporter for #hearthealth too.
Adding booze like whiskey has nutritional value too...yeah you heard that right whiskey can be healthy...of course in moderation (the hard part of anything good). Whiskey contains a high concentrated amounts of ellagic acid, a known antioxidant.
Enjoy by a fire or in nature, Cheers!
*For a spicy option + 1t freshly grated ginger root (also a #antiimflammatory & #antimicrobial PLUS #potassium)
Cheers!
