It’s a lifesaver. Ginger is known to alleviate headaches, stomach aches, nausea and many other pains. In addition, raw honey is an antibacterial elixir and lemon is rich in vitamin C, which boosts the immune system.

Here’s the recipe for Honey Lemon Ginger Tea (or Ginger Lemonade, if you like it cold):

sliced organic ginger
juice of 1 organic lemon
raw honey to taste

Heat 1 quart of water to just before boiling point. Add ginger slices and let it steep for 20 minutes. Add lemon juice and sweeten with raw honey.

Serve warm right away. Store the rest refrigerated in a quart jar.

I like to keep the ginger slices in so it steeps even longer and brings it a stronger ginger flavor day after day.

If reheating for tea, take it off the burner just before it boils. It’s also delicious served cold.
