Golden Citrus Tonic
Golden Citrus Tonic is a herbal tea blend of ginger root and lemon pieces. Naturally tart, the lemony flavor is bright and potent. The ginger adds a fiery bite that creates a soothing warmth and leaves behind a lingering spicy tingle. A spoonful of honey sweetens and mellows the flavors while adding an extra dose of wellness to the cup.
This combination of lemon and ginger is packed with antioxidants and flavonoids along with anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial wellness properties to give an invigorating boost to the immune system. Commonly used in alternative medicine to help soothe a sore throat, ease nausea, settle an upset stomach, alleviate respiratory symptoms, and improve circulation. This blend was formulated for revitalization and recovery. Each sip is filled with a clarifying zing of flavor, lightly sweet yet tart, and a relaxing warmth of peppery spice
