Honey Tea

I savor this tea every morning before work.  It's my own little decadent quiet time before taking on the world.  I deeply inhale the lemony fragrance wafting into the air, while mindfully sipping from my favorite mug.  Delightful...

Honey Tea
Serves: Just You
meat-free, dairy-free, egg-free, oil-free, soy-free


Ingredients:

• Water
• Honey
• Cayenne Pepper
• 1 Lemon Slice

Directions:

1. Fill a mug with Water
2. Add as much/as little Honey as you desire (I add about about a dime size)
3. Sprinkle in a little Cayenne Pepper
4. Squeeze in Lemon juice and plunk in Lemon Slice
5. Nuke for 1-2 minutes

The Benefits:

• Better Digestion & Elimination: Warm waters increases elimination of waste & toxins from the body, reduce constipation and diarrhea, cleanse your digestive tract and help with proper food digestion
• Beautiful Skin: The Vitamin C from the Lemon rejuvenates the skin naturally
• Energizing Your Body: Lemon is one of the few foods that contain more negative charged ions, providing your body with more energy
• Smooth Throat: Cayenne is very high in Vitamin C and helps to unblock the sinuses and clear out mucus & Honey is a natural cough suppressant
• Healing: Cayenne has antibacterial properties, along with high amounts of Vitamin A, which both help with healing and fighting infections
• Boost Immunity: Honey has strong antibiotic properties as well as being an antimicrobial agent (kills or slows growth of microbes) 
• Seasonal Allergies: Local honey can ease or eliminate seasonal allergies.  Local honey contains small amounts of the pollen within your area that is causing your symptoms, by ingesting on a daily basis; you slowly build up a resistance.

Hoff Thoughts: Notice I mentioned a little Cayenne, this stuff is HOT, so go easy and adjust as you get used to it.  If the microwave isn't your thing, heat your water in a kettle (I'm just too impatient).
