Cold and Flu Clean Air Brew 🍵
Description: We frequently boil this during the cold and flu season. We use it more as a prevention than a cure, but it can help to keep germs down and lessens the possibility of making other family members sick. It also smells great so it isn’t a problem to keep it brewing. I put zero cook time because it isn’t a set time and is up to the person how long they want it to brew.
