Immune-boosting tea

Fall is around the corner, and you know what that means – flu season will soon be in full swing! I haven't had the best immune system in recent years, and since I caught bronchitis at the end of 2023, I often tend to be congested and get sick easily. But no worries, because whenever I'm feeling under the weather, I turn to this trusty tea that works like magic. So, if you find yourself in the sick boat this winter, do yourself a favor and whip up a cup of this immune-boosting tea! 🫖
