Feeling under the weather?

Feeling a Bit Under the Weather Lately?

It seems like everyone’s been catching some sort of bug recently (my family included!), so I thought it was the perfect time to share a few of my favourite immune-boosting drinks!

Two key ingredients I always turn to are turmeric and ginger — nature’s little powerhouses:

   •   Turmeric is my go-to anti-inflammatory for supporting overall immunity (and it gives that gorgeous golden colour we all love).

   •   Ginger is amazing for digestion, reducing inflammation, and giving your immune system a gentle, natural boost. Plus, that warm, spicy kick just feels healing.

If you’re looking to strengthen your immune system — or simply fancy some healthy, cosy sips for autumn — these will hit the spot. 🍵

🌿 Turmeric Tea

A soothing evening favourite! This simple blend of ground turmeric, lemon juice, and honey makes the perfect calming nightcap.

I often add a pinch of cayenne pepper if I’m feeling a little sluggish — but fair warning, it’s got a bit of a kick!

☕ Golden Milk

If you prefer something creamier, this is your go-to. It’s a velvety, comforting version of turmeric tea that tastes like a warm autumn hug — especially with a hint of cinnamon and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Recipe (serves 2):

   •   480 ml milk (dairy or dairy-free)

   •   1 tsp ground turmeric

   •   ¼ tsp ground cinnamon

   •   Pinch of black pepper

   •   1 tbsp maple syrup or honey

Optional extras:

   •   ½ tbsp coconut oil

   •   A dash of ginger, cardamom, or vanilla extract for extra flavour

Directions:

1. Gently warm the milk in a small pan over medium heat — don’t let it boil.

2. Whisk in the turmeric, cinnamon, and pepper until smooth.

3. Stir through the maple syrup (and any extras you fancy).

4. Pour into your favourite mug and sip slowly — preferably wrapped in a blanket!

💚 A Little Reminder

Staying healthy isn’t about being perfect — it’s about those small, daily rituals that help your body feel supported.

So, drink your golden milk, take your vitamins, rest when you need to, and keep your stress low. Your immune system will thank you for it.

Stay warm, stay nourished, and take care of you. 💫

Love and Light
