Colder days are upon us, and homemade tea is just what I need to keep me warm. 🍵 In this reel, I’m using homegrown mint, lemon balm, calamansi/calamondin, and store bought ginger and honey.
Calamansi is a cross between mandarin oranges and kumquats. This citrus fruit is widely used in the Philippines as well as around Southeast Asia, most notably in food and beverages.
The combination of citrus, ginger, and honey help boost immune system. It’s the best home remedy for cough, cold, and sore throat. 🍋🍯
My calamansi tree is growing inside my grow tent, while my mint and lemon balm are growing next to my kitchen window sill.
I’m really enjoying growing indoors this season. It can certainly have its own challenges, but the benefits are really worth it in my opinion. I highly recommend you give it a try! 🪴
