Ginger Lemon Honey Tea
One thing we make that has helped to “thin the junk out” during colds and flu is a nice warm cup of tea. (Not hot, let it cool before drinking.)
Equipment
- 1 Tea Pot or Small Saucepan
Ingredients
- juice from 1/2 a lemon
- 1/2 tsp powdered ginger or fresh grated ginger if you don’t mind texture
- 1-2 tsp raw honey
- 1/8 tsp cayenne optional (especially for kids)
- water
Instructions
- Put water on to heat, then squeeze lemon juice into your cup. Add ginger, honey, and cayenne.
- Add water to the top of the cup when it is heated.
- Stir and let the tea cool until it is just warm.
Notes
- You can certainly back off the cayenne if this tea is for a little one, but if a person can take the heat, it makes the ginger much more efficient.
- You can make this into a nice cough syrup by leaving out the water and adding a few Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Spicy and good! And very good for a sore throat.
