The ultimate cold and flu fighter, this is a powerhouse healing elixir that we drink all winter long. In summer, it is just as good poured over ice.

By Kath & Jade, Panaceas Pantry
- 2 Tbsp fresh turmeric, grated (measure before you grate)
- 5cm knob of fresh ginger, grated
- ½ tsp peppercorns
- 1 cinnamon quill
- 4 cloves
- 2 cups full fat coconut milk
- 2 cups coconut water
- 1-2 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 2-4 tbsp Coconut Nectar (start with less and add more to your liking)
- Gubinge Powder (see amount below)
- Step 1Place all ingredients (except the Gubinge Powder) in a saucepan. Bring to the the boil, remove the lid and simmer on low for 20-30 minutes (you want to reduce the amount of liquid 2 cups/500mL). Turn off the heat and allow to cool.
- Step 2To serve, strain through a fine sieve. Before adding the Gubinge Powder, check the drink temperature and ensure its below 60 degrees Celsius (to avoid destroying the vitamin C). Add 1/8 tsp Gubinge at a time, stirring and increasing the amount to your liking.
