EASY GINGER TEA
This is one of my absolute favourite things to drink, other than coffee and regular tea, that is! It's so easy, and it's good for you, too! You can buy ginger tea in packets, but it's better (and cheaper, too) to just make your own with fresh ginger. Thanks to Cdn Living Magazine for the original recipe I based this on!

Steps:
- Place grated ginger into a 2-cup glass measuring cup.
- Fill to the 1-1/2 cup line with boiling water.
- Set timer for 10 minutes.
- When timer goes off, strain into a large mug and stir in sugar (you may need more or less, depending on how sweet you want your tea).
- Taste; if it's too strong (too gingery) for you, add a little more boiling water to your mug, but I found the strong taste really grew on me, so I hope you try it this way first!
- Sip and enjoy!
- Note#1: If that's too much, you can use just 1 tsp grated ginger and just 1 cup of boiling water, but I like a big mug.
- Note#2: a squeeze of lemon can be added, and maple syrup is an interesting replacement for the white sugar.
- Note#3: If you triple or quadruple this recipe, you can make a lovely pot of ginger tea instead of a single serving.

HONEY-LEMON GINGER TEA
I visited a coffee shop in Hartford on a cold winter day and ordered their honey lemon ginger tea. It was tart, sweet, full of flavor, and warmed me from head to toe. The proprietor was nice enough to give me a rough description of her recipe. After a few tries at home, I came up with this close version.

GINGER TEA
This is "Aunt Sally's" own receipt. Half of my family got food poisoning at Thanksgiving one year. This ended my nausea. Don't give into the temptation to add more honey or sugar, because then it doesn't work--especially if you are vomiting because sugar can make that worse. This was made with dried powdered ginger that wasn't very strong, if using fresher ginger you may use more water. Remember to sip slowly.

Tips:
- Fresh Ginger is Best: Use fresh ginger whenever possible for the best flavor. Fresh ginger has a more robust, spicy flavor than dried ginger. If you only have dried ginger on hand, use half the amount of dried ginger called for in the recipe.
- Peel the Ginger Properly: To peel ginger easily, use a spoon to scrape off the skin. This method is much easier than using a knife, and it helps to preserve the ginger's flavor.
- Grate or Slice the Ginger Finely: For best results, grate or slice the ginger finely. This will help to release the ginger's flavor into the tea.
- Use Boiling Water: Always use boiling water when making ginger tea. Boiling water helps to extract the ginger's flavor and aroma.
- Steep the Tea for 5-10 Minutes: Steep the ginger tea for 5-10 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea. The longer you steep the tea, the stronger it will be.
- Add Honey or Lemon to Taste: Add honey or lemon to taste, if desired. Honey will add sweetness, while lemon will add a tart flavor.
Conclusion:
Ginger tea is a delicious and healthy beverage that can be enjoyed hot or cold. It is a great way to warm up on a cold day or to soothe a sore throat. Ginger tea is also a good source of antioxidants, which can help to protect your body from damage caused by free radicals. So next time you're feeling under the weather, reach for a cup of ginger tea. You'll be glad you did!
