Ginger is a popular addition to energy drinks, with good reason.
You can get the energy and health benefits of ginger tea without
purchasing these expensive and sugar laden drinks.
Instead, why
not try ginger tea? You can purchase fresh ginger root in most
supermarkets now. While the cost per pound is not very expensive, you do
not need anywhere near a pound. I frequently purchase a small knob and
use it fresh.
Ginger Tea Recipe
To make 4 cups of tea, start with a 1 inch piece of ginger. Peel the ginger and grate it coarsely or slice thinly.
Bring
4 cups of water to a boil and add the ginger. Reduce the heat and
simmer the tea for 15 to 20 minutes depending on the strength you like.
Pour
off the tea, or strain if necessary. Enjoy hot or cold. Many enjoy the
tea as is, but you can also sweeten it with a little honey, and lemon is
optional.
Ginger tea is commonly used as a cold remedy. It is
said to boost the immune system, soothe sore throats, and treat bouts of
flu. It is also believed to improve digestion and help relieve nausea.
