best Tea EVER for cold: Fresh ginger lemon tea
last weekend i was sick and in bed, knocked out all day because of the crazy weather. it was sooo cold and working late on the coldest day didn’t help. so for the weekend i kept on drinking ginger lemon tea. i was already sick, but it really made me feel better and i was able to quickly recover. my colds usually go forever, but this time i got rid of it in 4 days.
i love making tea in my teapots, actually, i collect clear glass teapots. this one is my fave but eric accidentally broke the lid this past weekend. =( I was pretty sad about it because i have no idea if i can replace it. hopefully i can.
so brewed ginger is known to help with colds, and also lemons – full of vitamin C – help boost your immune system. these 2 are the perfect combo to drink and fight the cold.
to make the tea you need:
water
fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
lemon
honey
boil the water with ginger. if you are sensitive to spice, i advise you to make it with a 2 teaspoon ginger to 4 cups water ratio. i usually do 2 tablespoons to about 5 cups. it does get really spicy. then add in about 1 1/2 lemons; slice one whole lemon and then just squeeze half of the lemon juice into the pot. and put honey to your taste and your are done.
