My Famous Immunity Shots


Did somebody say "shots"?

Did you know that doing shots is a great boost for your immune system?

Okay, so I'm not talking about tequila.

The Immunity Shot

What you'll need & Why:

What to do:

Cut the lemon in half and squeeze one half into a small bowl (try to avoid seeds). Add garlic, cayenne and honey and mix well. Pour the mixture back into the squeezed lemon and consume in it's entirety,including the pulp (skin optional!).
