A warm infusion that blends citrus, ginger, and honey — all gentle allies for skin vitality. It’s not a miracle potion; it’s a ritual. A moment of warmth that supports your body’s natural processes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup hot water
- Juice of ½ fresh lemon (rich in vitamin C)
- 1–2 slices of fresh orange or blood orange
- 3–4 thin slices of fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- Optional: a pinch of cinnamon or turmeric
- Optional: a scoop of neutral collagen peptides if you personally use them (not required)
Why these ingredients help
- Vitamin C (lemon & orange) supports the body’s natural collagen formation.
- Ginger brings warmth and antioxidants.
- Honey soothes and adds a comforting sweetness.
- Cinnamon or turmeric offer additional antioxidant support.
These ingredients don’t “add” collagen — they simply help the body do what it already knows how to do.
How to Prepare
- Warm your water until just below boiling.
- Add the ginger slices and let them steep for 3–5 minutes.
- Squeeze in the lemon juice and add the orange slices.
- Stir in the honey until it melts.
- Add your optional spices or collagen powder if you choose.
- Sip slowly, ideally in a quiet moment.
A Gentle Note
This recipe is not a treatment — it’s a ritual of care. A way to nourish your body with warmth, colour, and intention during the winter months. Collagen thrives when we do: when we rest, hydrate, eat well, and treat ourselves with kindness.
