         Title: Immune Boosting Tea   
    Categories: Tea   
         Yield: 1 Serving   
       
         3 c  Water   
         2    Astragalus root pieces   
         1 sl Fresh ginger; quarter sized   
         3    Black peppercorns;   
              - up to 5 (optional)   
         3    Cloves; up to 4 (optional)   
        10    Cinnamon bits (optional)   
       1/2 ts Honey; (optional)   
       
     Place 3 cups water in medium saucepan. Add astralagus root and   
     ginger. If you have a tendency towards being cold or have a cold add   
     peppercorns, cloves, and cinnamon bits.   
        
     Bring decoction to a boil them immediately reduce to simmer for 10   
     minutes. Strain the herbs with a fine mesh strainer while catching   
     the liquid in a large mug. The remaining herbs can be saved for   
     another dose of fresh tea later in the day.   
        
     The properties of astragalus make it one of the best go-to immune and   
     energy boosting herbs. Astragalus is naturally sweet but if you   
     prefer you can sweeten your winter tonic with 1/2 ts honey.   
        
     Ginger warms the body and increases the body's ability to stave off   
     colds.   
        
     The addition of other warming herbs (black peppercorn, cloves, and   
     cinnamon) enhance this teas function of clearing out colds which   
     involve symptoms such as chills, headache, runny nose, thick nasal   
     discharge, and a scratchy throat.
