Citrus Flu Tonic

With winter approaching, a good recepy for a flu fighter drink might be appropriate:
Citrus Flu Tonic:
1          Grapefruit, juiced
2          Oranges, juiced
1          Lemon, juiced
1tsp      Orange Rind Juice
1/4 inch Ginger Root, minced
2ml        Echinacea Liquid Extract (2 dropperfuls)
1  tsp     Royal Jelly

Cut the grapefruit and oranges into eights, but only after you scrape, scrape, scrape the pulp from the inside rind. Therein rests the miracle flavonoids and their magical curative powers. Buy organic fruits so you can include a bit of rind with its potent essential oils without the pesticides. Remove as many seeds as possible. Mince the fresh ginger and blend all ingredients until smooth. Royal jelly takes the edge off of the acidic flavour and, as a cousin to bee propolis, adds its own antibacterial capacity to suppress staphylococcus and streptococcus. But you could substitute with honey. A morning drink.
