🌍 Origin:

Inspired by Latin American natural medicine traditions, this recipe combines ingredients commonly used in traditional remedies to prevent and combat cold and flu symptoms.

🧪 Ingredients (Quantities):

Ingredient Quantity

Fresh orange juice 1 cup (240 ml)

Carrot (peeled & chopped) 1 medium (120 g)

Ginger root (peeled) 1-inch piece (5 g)

Turmeric root (peeled) 1-inch piece (5 g) or ½ tsp ground

Lemon juice 2 tbsp (30 ml)

Garlic (peeled) 1 small clove (2 g)

Honey (raw or organic) 1 tbsp (15 ml)

Water (optional for blending) ¼ cup (60 ml)

🟡 Optional Ingredients:

• Pinch of black pepper (enhances absorption of curcumin in turmeric)

• ½ cup pineapple (for added vitamin C and sweetness)

• 1 tbsp chia seeds (for fiber and omega-3)

• 1 tsp echinacea extract (if available, for added immunity support)

🥄 Instructions:

1. Wash and peel the carrot, ginger, turmeric, and garlic.

2. Juice the oranges and lemons by hand or with a citrus juicer.

3. Add the carrot, ginger, turmeric, garlic, and citrus juice into a blender.

4. Add water (if using) and blend until smooth.

5. Strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth for a smoother texture (optional).

6. Stir in the honey and optional ingredients like black pepper or echinacea.

7. Serve immediately for maximum nutritional benefit.

✅ Tips for Success:

• Use fresh ingredients whenever possible, especially citrus and roots.

• Drink it in the morning on an empty stomach for optimal absorption.

• If using turmeric root, pair with black pepper to activate its full anti-inflammatory power.

• Store up to 24 hours in the fridge in an airtight glass container to retain potency.

• Adjust sweetness with honey or pineapple if the ginger and garlic are too strong.

💡 Recommendations:

• Drink daily during flu season, or at the first sign of cold symptoms.

• Combine with a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and hydration.

• Support immune health with adequate sleep and reduced stress.

• Pair with warm infusions like ginger-lemon tea during the day for added support.
