When I feel my immune system starting to take a beating, I make a big mug of Ginger Tea. This tea is sure to warm you inside and out. Ginger is used for anything from stomach pains to motion sickness to adding a spicy kick to dishes.
This Ginger Tea is combined with Lemon (juice) and Honey. All three ingredients have their own medicinal properties but when combined, they pack a punch against an oncoming cold. I acquired the following recipe some years ago and now will share with you.
Ginger Tea
- 3 cups Water
- 2 inches Ginger Root (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1/2 Lemon (juice)
In a pan, add the water. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Add the grated Ginger Root. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes. After the time, turn the heat off, add the Lemon juice and Honey. Put a strainer over a mug and slowly pour the tea. Enjoy!
