Wellness Flights:
Whenever anyone in my family gets sick with cold or flu, I make these wellness flights and it gets everyone right in no time! I prepare Dominican tea, lemon ginger immunity shots and fresh-squeezed orange juice. I like to serve everything together on a tray for the ultimate boost of vitamin C goodness needed to fight any virus.
To make the lemon ginger immunity shots, I grate fresh ginger and squeeze out the juice with a fine mesh strainer. Then, I add equal parts fresh-squeezed lemon juice. For kids, I dilute this mixture with apple juice or coconut water. For example: 1 teaspoon of the lemon ginger juice in 1 cup of apple juice or coconut water.
