Warm Pear & Ginger Nectar
Smooth pear nectar is one of the kindest things to swallow with a sore throat, and a little ginger settles the stomach at the same time. Serve just warm — never hot.
Gentle for a sore mouth, nausea.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe pears, peeled and cored
- 1 cup water or unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- ½ tsp pure maple syrup (optional)
How to make it
- Simmer the pears in the water with the ginger 8–10 minutes, until very soft.
- Blend until completely smooth.
- Thin to a sippable nectar and warm gently — not hot.
- Dust with a little cinnamon and sip slowly.
