Given the amazing health benefits of ginger, I thought I'd post an easy ginger tea recipe that you can make at home. Of course, you can buy ginger tea in stores, but homemade is always better.
Ingredients
2 T. grated ginger root
2 c. water
Directions
Boil the water in a small saucepan and stir in the ginger root.
Drink straight or add lemon and/or your favorite sweetener to taste. Ginger tea with honey is a soothing drink when you have a cold or the flu.
its nice for cold and even for digestion
Anything with ginger is great.

The Chinese think that if you leave the skin of the ginger on when you boil it, the tea is also good for relieving headaches. And when I was younger, I was given ginger tea when I had stomach aches/gas.
There is an even easier recipe for ginger tea than the one listed. Cut two rounds of ginger about the size of a quarter each. Put them in a mug and pour about 1 c. of boiling water over them. Cover the mug, so that all the good medicine stays in the cup. Drink after it has set for about 20 minutes. Especially if the person is nauseous, have them sip it slowly a little at a time. ENJOY!
Thanks for the recipe! Never tried a homemade ginger tea.
