Immunity bomb cubes with raw honey, turmeric, and ginger

'Tis the season to be...sick. Even if your one of the lucky ones not battling a dripping nose, I'm sure you know someone who is! These immunity bomb cubes with raw honey, turmeric, and ginger, are here to help boost your immune system and soothe your cold if you are sick.

You will need:

• Raw ginger: Raw ginger is full of spice and antioxidants. It helps boost the immune system as well as supporting the digestive system.
• Fresh turmeric: I like to use fresh turmeric root because of it's more vibrant flavor and aroma. You can use dried if you can't find fresh. Turmeric contains powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
• Fresh lemon juice: Lemon juice is a great way to add more vitamin C, which is well known to have positive impacts on our immune system's ability to fight off illness.
• Raw honey: Raw honey adds a little sweetness. I prefer raw over processed honey because of it's superior health benefits.
• Water or coconut water: You will need a little water to bring these cubes to life! If you prefer coconut water, use that instead for an extra boost of vitamin c!
• Black pepper (optional!): It definitely adds a little spice so I left this as optional. The reason juice shots often have pepper added is because black pepper boosts nutrient absorption.

Tips n' tricks

• I found that weighing the turmeric and ginger with a kitchen scale was the easiest for me. Each piece weighed 5 grams. If you don't have one, you can estimate that a 1" piece of each will work for this recipe.
• Keep in mind that the fresh turmeric will stain your ice cubes mold!
• I used 2" ice cube mold that yielded 4 cubes.
