Precautions
Even though i haven't officially gotten sick in a long time, i've been feeling stuffy and icky the last few days. be's had a runny nose without other cold symptoms, so it might just be our allergies acting up. We like to think our immune systems are stronger due to all the leafy greens we've been eating, but regardless, we're taking other precautionary measures just in case. Tonight i made a batch of my mom's infamous ginger/lemon tea. She used to make us drink it all the time growing up and she still has it often to this day. Of course we hated it back then (as we did most of her brews and broths) but i like the taste now and it does make me feel better.My Mom's Ginger/Lemon Tea
2 c water
1 T peeled, chopped fresh ginger root
1/3 lemon, juiced
honey (optional)
Bring the water to a boil and add the chopped ginger. Let it boil for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ginger taste is strong and hot. Add the fresh lemon juice and strain mixture into 2 mugs. Sweeten with honey if desired. Drink tea hot for it's full benefits: it'll warm you up and strengthen your immune and circulatory system.
