3 lemons

2 oranges

Half a pound of ginger 

Half a pound of turmeric 

Peel the lemons and oranges and slice them into smaller pieces 

Scrape the turmeric and ginger and cut into smaller chunks 

Blend all together, grind them to a pulp  and drain  liquid

Transfer liquid to an empty container

Then take a sip. 

 It will burn. It will sting. It will coat your throat in fire

But you will be stronger 

Why does it hurt to put myself first?
