Cloves are warming and pungent and are a great disinfectant for the lymphatic system. Citrus fruits are rich in multiple nutrients such as vitamin C, flavonoids, and fiber which help reduce inflammation, boost immunity and also scrub the lymph.

1 serving

2 cups Water

1 tbsp Ginger (sliced)

1 Clementines (peeled) or tangerine

1 1/2 tbsps Maple Syrup

2 Whole Cloves

Add the water, ginger slices and cloves to a small pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, or longer if you prefer a spicier drink. The water will reduce some.

Use the end of a wooden spoon to mash the clementine in a mug. Add the hot ginger water and maple syrup to the mug. Stir until dissolved. Enjoy!

More Flavor - Use the zest of the clementine.

No Maple Syrup - Use raw honey instead. Make sure the drink is just warm and not hot.

No Clementine - Use lemon juice instead.
