IMMUNITY BOOSTER - GINGER TEA

 



INGREDIENTS:

  1. Tea leaves  x1 tsp
  2. Ginger  x  1/2

PROCEDURE :

  1. Thinly slice your fresh ginger. You don’t need to peel it first, but do rinse it and scrub off any visible dirt. Plan on about using about a one-inch piece of ginger per cup of tea.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the ginger with fresh water (use one cup of water per serving).
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer.
  4. Simmer for five minutes (or up to 10 minutes, if you want extra-strong tea). I usually think it’s pungent enough at five minutes.
  5. Pour the tea through a fine sieve to catch all of the ginger. If desired, serve your tea with a thin round of lemon or orange for some complementary acidity. You might also appreciate a light drizzle of honey or maple syrup, which will temper the fiery ginger flavor.

OTHER VARIATIONS:

1. Ginger-Cinnamon Tea

        For more warming spice, simply add a cinnamon stick to your tea before bringing to a simmer.

2. Ginger-Turmeric Tea

        Turmeric offers additional anti-inflammatory benefits, plus a fun orangey hue and extra-spicy,            intriguing flavor. Treat fresh turmeric the same way that you treat fresh ginger—cut it into thin             slices,     and add it to your ginger and water mixture.

3. Ginger-Mint Tea

         Fresh mint lends a cooling component, which helps balance the warmth of fresh ginger. Add a few         sprigs of fresh mint to your mixture before bringing it to a simmer.

 

BENEFITS :

  1. Treat bloating . 
  2. PMS relief.
  3. Solves digestive problems.
  4. Solves sore throat.
  5. Helps weight loss.
