              Notes

              • This flu bomb is packed with ginger and turmeric, both of which are known for their anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.
              • Garlic is a natural antibiotic, while lemon provides vitamin C, which helps support the immune system.
              • The addition of cayenne pepper adds heat to help clear your sinuses, but it can be omitted for a milder version.
              • Honey helps soothe a sore throat and has antibacterial benefits, but it can be replaced with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
