garlic_teaResearch tells us that taking garlic can help our bodies stave off colds and flu.

How can we take garlic naturally? I’ve collected some recipes, and here's one for Garlic Tea.

Garlic Tea

1. Chop one clove of garlic finely. Fine chopping activates the allicin (one active ingredient) in garlic that can help fight cold and flu viruses.

2. Add the chopped garlic to boiling water and allow to steep for several minutes.

3. Cool the tea before drinking. For best taste, allow the tea to cool somewhat, but don't drink it cold. The taste is best when slightly warm.

4. Drink one cup each day during the winter months or when cold and flu symptoms begin.

In my next blog, I'll talk about garlic GOOT, an external way to benefit from garlic.
