Sub zero temperatures and snow flakes… winter has set in for the long haul

And my babies and I are poorly, sniffles, fever, cough, a chest infection and all things nasty.

If it sounds familiar (hope not) then you mamas know all too well how difficult feeding them is right now.

So I have a hot healing drink that I make for my poorly pumpkins that goes down a treat. Its such a relief to get this Healing Elixir trickle through their little systems.

Its packed full of compounds rich in powerful medicinal properties that are

• anti inflammatory
• anti bacterial
• decongestive
• super restorative.
• I think it tastes good too. (Also great beautifying properties for mums)

I usually make them Gingerbread Men when bugged down to appease the unrelenting sugar cravings.. and I only offer these ginger and cinnamon filled little gentlemen.

I remember being given something similar by my mum growing up and we call it kava, but essentially it is Spiced Honey Tea..
