I am always looking for more ways to get GARLIC into my body and into the daily regimens/meals for my family. Sometimes, in the change of seasons, we find ourselves with one of those pesky, very irritating sniffly spring colds.
Years ago, I learned about this super powered 'refreshment' in a class with Aviva Romm who is an amazing herbalist. midwife turned medical doctor! Garlic Lemonade may sound a bit 'odd' but try it and keep your immune system strong!
It's easy to make and is very nutritious. For more about the power of garlic, here are some garlic highlights!
