The immune system thrives on anti-microbial foods such as garlic and honey. This is a wonderful remedy for a cold or flu or as a way to support your immune system if those around you are sick.

Garlic Honey

Mince 1 head of garlic.

Place it in a pint-sized mason jar with 1/2 cup honey. Mix well.

Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Spread on sourdough bread as a snack or mix into morning grains.

The honey will coat the garlic and neutralize any ulcerative qualities of this potent, pungent alium. These are nature's two most powerful antibiotics!

Cinnamon Rice Porridge

Take 1 cup leftover brown rice and place it in a stock pot with 1 cup water or milk of your preference. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer.

Add:

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

a handful of blueberries

a spoonful of tahini or your favorite nut butter

Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally.

Add a spoonful of garlic honey for an immune boosting breakfast.

Cinnamon is also highly anti-microbial and supportive to digestive health.
