us witches get colds too

hello greenies! i’ve been getting sicker and sicker as the seasons change and so have my fellow witches. this is a loose recipe that i use for colds and i hope it can help. sorry if the measurements aren’t exact! 

for kettle:

  • 4 cups of water
  • 2 lemons
  • chopped ginger (an inch? maybe less depending on how strong you want it)
  • a small handful of peppermint (i have the hands of a child)
  • 2 sticks on cinnamon
  • honey (will put in at the end)

for cup

  • 1 cup of water
  • ¼ of an inch of ginger
  • a few of leaves of peppermint
  • half a stick ( if you have powder use like 1 tsp?) of cinnamon
  • honey (will put in at the end)

directions

  1. heat up water until it comes to a nice low boil/simmer. place ginger, peppermint, and cinnamon in. 
  2. after 4 minutes place thyme and lemon.
  3. ***for the lemon make sure you cut in half, squeeze out, and place the peels in the water (for kettles place 1 of the lemon shells in the water, for cup place a few slices). let sit for another 4 minutes. then when done put in cups!
  4. put in as much honey as you want! (i use about a tablespoon per cup) stir clockwise and chant:

“Frost in the body, cast out.

Mother Earth bring to me health and wellness.

Bring to me the warmth of spring.

Frost in the body, cast out.”  

visualize a green light flowing into the cup as you chant and as you drink that same light travels into you. 

enjoy!!!
