CITRUS AND HERB TONIC
This simple infusion is loaded with bright winter citrus and heady aromatics. It works as a tea for sipping while curled up on a sofa or on the go, and it will add a spot of sunshine to your day. Treat this recipe as a concentrate - you can make it ahead of time and store it refrigerated in a covered container. To serve, portion in mugs and dilute with boiling water. Drizzle with honey or your sweetener of choice.

Steps:
- Slice the limes, lemon and orange into 1/4-inch-thick rounds, leaving the skin on. Place the citrus slices in a medium pot and fill with 8 cups of water. Stir in the turmeric and add the lemongrass pieces. Bring to a boil over high heat. Lower to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat, and add the sliced ginger and fresh oregano. Cover and allow to steep for 10 minutes. Strain through a mesh sieve.
- Serve hot in mugs, as 1- to 2-ounce portions, diluted to taste with more hot water and sweetened with a drizzle of honey. Tonic can be cooled and stored refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. To reheat, portion the cold tonic into mugs and top with boiling water.
