Who doesn’t love a drink that is tasty, makes you feel good, and can kick a cold to the curb!
Emily brings us this citrus immune booster cocktail full of orange, lemon, ginger, turmeric, and mint. Easy to make in your blender, It also has the added benefit of pulp which you can throw in Asian dishes or a soup.
