Ginger Root Tea
Ginger root has long been used as an immune-boosting food. Here, we utilize it in a warming and healing tea. Note: raw ginger root can be found in the produce section at the grocery store.
Ingredients:
2 inches of raw ginger root
2 cups filtered water
1 Tbsp local honey (for an added boost to the immune system)
Optional: Juice of ½ lime or lemon (about 1 Tbsp)
1 super-fun mug to brighten your day
Instructions:
Peel ginger and slice into thin slices.
Boil ginger in the water for 10-20 minutes (boil longer or add more slices for a stronger tea).
Remove from heat and add the honey and lemon or lime juice to taste.
Enjoy several cups a day, sipping slowly throughout the day. Cheers to your health!
