Ingredients
Makes about 4 cups
Step 1
Toast a 2" cinnamon stick and 1/4 cup coriander seeds in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until beginning to crackle, about 4 minutes. Crush on a cutting board with the side of a chef's knife or cleaver. Transfer to a large saucepan; add 4 cups water. Cook over medium-high heat until very warm but not hot.
Step 2
Meanwhile, lightly bruise 1 bunch cilantro (with roots if possible) and 1 bunch rosemary with the side of your knife. Add to saucepan along with a finely grated 2" piece peeled ginger, 2 bags detox tea (such as Traditional Medicinals EveryDay Detox), 1 tablespoon manuka or raw honey, and 1 tablespoon raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar; stir to dissolve honey. Reduce heat to low and let mixture steep until flavorful, 10–15 minutes. Strain into a pint jar or large glass, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible.

Back to TopI suggest using an elderberry product. I like the use of cilantro which is said to remove heavy metals from the body but I don't know if that includes the use of it as a tea.

This recipe looks great and I am very interested in trying it - especially since we are smack dab in the middle of flu season. But, first, I'm hoping you can tell me (approximately) the size of a 'bunch' of cilantro and/or rosemary. I live in a tiny, rural town (so the stores don't sell these herbs in bunches), but I do grow them so I can have access year round. I may play with the amounts until I hear back. Hoping everyone stays healthy - thank you!
