I could not stop getting sick! And something that usually helps are the premade immunity shots that you can find at the store. But they are so small and so expensive, especially when thinking of how little you actually get.
So I scoured the internet for a recipe that I could make on my own. I found a 5 ingredient Immunity Shot recipe and the rest is history:

Pour into glasses and drink.
