Wellness Citrus Spritzer with Manuka Honey

This drink is actually meant as a winter wellness drink to help you fight off influenza but considering how horribly the COVID-19 pandemic has hit this country as well as the fear that a second wave could hit us again in the fall, we might as well start building up our immune system in every aspect of our diet.

This particular drink is not only healthy but also very refreshing. Honestly, this is something you could take down to the beach or drink poolside just about every day. They are super easy to make and odds are you have most of, if not all, the ingredients in your pantry already. If not, a quick run to the grocery store and you will be ready to go. If you need Manuka honey, we will have a link at the bottom of this recipe to place an order.

Along with the citrus, two of the ingredients that really drive the health aspect of this drink home are ginger and Manuka honey. Ginger is packed with both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties as well as being known as an immunity booster. Manuka honey, as you probably already know, is also loaded with anti-viral, antimicrobial, and antibacterial properties. Together, these two ingredients turn this non-alcoholic drink into a healthy powerhouse.
