Ginger tea has a spicy, invigorating taste. It's used as a home remedy for indigestion, nausea, and to ward off colds, flu, and sore throats.
Ginger tea is very easy to make. Here is a recipe for you to try.
Ginger Tea Recipe
# water, 4 cups
# 2-inch piece of fresh ginger root
# optional: honey and lemon slice
Peel the ginger root and slice it into thin slices. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Once it is boiling, add the ginger. Cover it and reduce to a simmer for 15-20 minutes. Strain the tea. Add honey and lemon to taste.
Note: Keep in mind that if you are making ginger tea as a home remedy during cold and flu season, sweeteners are not recommended.
MY THOUGHTS
try it. it's easy to make. and it's really good. honey and lemon slice would really hit the spot. and it's a natural remedy. i've always known that ginger is good for sore throat. didn't know it's also an alternative medicine for indigestion.
