Kiwifruit, which are high in vitamin C, and feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium), a gentle analgesic for headaches, comes together in this morning-after smoothie. The honey and kiwifruit also contain fructose, a natural sugar that has been shown to alleviate hangovers.

INGREDIENTS
2 cups (500 ml) freshly boiled water
3 tbsp feverfew flowers
3 kiwifruit, peeled
3 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp salt

PREPARATION
1. Pour the water over the feverfew flowers and let steep for up to 8 minutes.

2. Place the infusion in a blender with the remaining ingredients and mix until smooth. Add more honey, if needed—feverfew flowers can be bitter. Serve at once.

STORAGE: Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
