Winter Tea

I've always had a weak stomach. I would be barfing everywhere after a amusement park ride or even a significant dip in the road. During the winter months I like drink hot ginger tea to calm my stomach. It is easy to make and also feels pretty good on soar throat. It sounds especially delicious at the moment as there are 6" of snow on the ground and the windchill is quickly approaching zero.

- 1 liter boiling water
- minced ginger
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- pinch of chipotle

How much minced ginger do you use? Good luck with the snow, sounds like more on the way!

Try a thumb sized chunk to start.

i really like making this but adding some fruit (peaches though not seasonal are really wonderful), and cayenne pepper. we've given it to friends as holiday presents who like to mix it with a little rum, bourbon or whiskey!

This really came out well. Tastes like Reeds ginger brew without the fizz. Thanks
