I say proven in the title because this is exactly what I drink everyday! And the drink gives me the energy I want, instantly. This is my easy recipe for homemade tea drink to strengthen and boost the immune system.
In this time of the COVID-19 where the virus attacks our immune system, we need to support it with immune-boosting food and drinks that we could easily make at home.
Here are the ingredients:

- Add the crushed ginger and garlic into the boiling water. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
- Add the turmeric powder and let it simmer for a minute.
- Add a pinch of cumin and cayenne pepper into the mixture.
