Soothing homemade lemon ginger tea

Even though the sun is shining and spring is peaking around the corner, I’ve found my mood has been dampened by the onset of a head cold. I drink tea like it’s my job when I’m battling a sore throat or congestion, and I’ve found that ginger tea has been an especially effective remedy.

This tea is a classic and has been passed down from generation to generation. The ingredients help boost the immune system and soothe the soul.

You’ll need…

- Ginger
- Honey
- Lemon juice

Directions

- Slice and peal ginger (about six thin slices) and add slices to a small pot of water.
- Boil until the liquid turns golden (ideally about 10-15 minutes).
- If using real lemons rather than concentrate, place a couple of lemon slices in a mug.
- Remove the ginger slices from the pot, and pour tea into the mug.
- Sweeten with honey and add a couple more squeezes of lemon juice.

*If you’re pressed for time, you can always throw all of the ingredients together in a mug and pour in boiling water.
