Immunity Cubes
These Frozen Immunity Cubes blend coconut milk, ginger, turmeric, citrus, honey, and warm spices into a nourishing concentrate you can freeze and melt into hot water anytime you need an immunity boost. Cozy, soothing, and incredibly easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup coconut water
- 3 raw pieces of ginger peeled
- 2 teaspoon raw pieces of turmeric peeled
- 2 lemons sliced
- 1 orange sliced
- 2 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 clove garlic minced optional
- pinch cayenne optional
- fresh mint optional
Instructions
- In a blender, add the coconut milk, coconut water, ginger, turmeric, orange, lemon, honey, cinnamon, and black pepper and blend until completely smooth.
- To remove fibers, strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or large liquid measuring cup with spout.
- Taste and adjust. Add more citrus for brightness, more honey for sweetness, or more ginger for heat.
- Pour into silicone ice cube trays with lids. (If not using lids then transfer cubes to a freezer-safe bag once they are frozen or container to prevent freezer burn).
- Freeze 12 to 24 hours or until solid.
- To use, place 2-4 cubes in a mug and pour boiling hot water over them. Stir until melted and sip slowly.
- As an immunity shot: Let 1-2 ice cubes melt in a glass overnight in the fridge. Stir to incorporate ingredients, then take as a shot.
- As an iced drink: Place 2-3 ice cubes in a glass and pour water or coconut water over. Let the ice cubes melt a bit to incorporate, then enjoy.
- In a smoothie: Drop 1-2 ice cubes into a blender with your favorite fruits, veggies, and other ingredients, then blend as usual. Note: works best in tropical flavored smoothies.
