Notes
Don't use lemon juice and orange juice in place of a lemon and orange - the white pith and the peels are highly nutritious.
Use any form of carrot - frozen, fresh but clean if using fresh by scrapping and washing with white vinegar or hot water and soap.
This recipe makes about 3 ¾ cups of mixture. That makes 30 (2-tbsp) cubes if you use the ice cube tray I used which has 2-tbsp wells. Use 3 cubes to make hot immunity tea or to thaw to make an immunity bomb or medicine bomb.
