Juice Recipe ~ 'Good for What Ails Ya' Tomato Tea

This is a recipe my husband found and adapted. It is supposed to be good for clearing your sinuses, but we love it as a warm winter treat. Use any hot sauce you like; we have found the fruitier ones taste best. This also makes a great Bloody Mary mix. Serve in mugs, with a stick of celery.

Ingredients

• 3 cups tomato juice
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce
• ½ teaspoon celery salt
• 1 pinch ground black pepper

Cooking Directions

1. Blend tomato juice, garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, celery salt, and black pepper together in a blender on low until smooth. Pour tomato juice mixture into a saucepan.
2. Heat tomato juice mixture in the saucepan over medium heat until just simmering, about 5 minutes.
