Shot-gun Smoothie
2 cups organic tomato or vegetable juice
1-2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon horseradish, fresh-grated (or 1/2 teaspoon powder)
1 gram powdered vitamin C
50,000 units vitamin A (from beta carotene)
A dash of ground ginger
A dash of Worcestershire sauce
A dash of cayenne powder
A little lemon juice and honey
Blend all ingredients in a blender. This tastes like a very spicy Bloody Mary (without the alcohol) and is great for relieving cold symptoms and winter maladies.
Thanks to my dear friend, Rosemary Gladstar for the following recipe. This wonderfully warming drink has relieved many a head cold and soothed many sore throats.
Hot Ginger Lemonade
1 cup fresh ginger root, chopped
1 quart water
1 fresh lemon, squeezed
Honey to taste
Place ginger root in a nonmetal pot. Cover with the water. Simmer 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and add fresh-squeezed lemons and honey to taste. Sprinkle with a few grains of cayenne for an extra spicy zest.
