Ginger Tea Recipe

So, I usually don't like things that have the word "Ginger" in their names. As I think most people don't! LOL! But here is a recipe that I wanted to share w/you guys that I think is a great tea & has amazing health benefits. Remember a couple years ago when I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis & I could hardly move or function? I had to take Anti-Inflammatory pills in combo with Pain Killers & Tylenol multiple times a day to get through an actual day comfortably. I found this recipe on some natural sight & read it in my Nutritional Healing Book (one of my very favorite books of all time!). If you don't know about ginger it helps w/everything! You can read about it on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger)

A few recommendations first. I would only buy ginger at Whole Foods or a natural organic store. I buy mine at Whole Foods. Have you seen the ginger root they have at a regular grocery store? It's disturbing. Nothing should be pumped full of that much growth hormone & get that large & in charge. I don't know about you but I don't like any of my food genetically altered. So, after all my rambling here is the recipe.

GINGER TEA:

1 Tbsp. of Ginger Root, finely grated or chopped
2 C. Boiling Water
Honey or Agave, to taste

First grate your Ginger or chop finely. Pour boiling water over ginger & let steep for 5 minutes. Strain the ginger out of the tea into a separate cup. Put in honey or Agave to desired sweetness.

That's it! Super easy! I like mine pretty strong so I use less water, only 1 3/4 C. instead of 2 C. But you can adjust to your own liking.

After I tried this tea, I cut way down on all my pills & could actually get out of bed in the morning. I'm super grateful that I amazed my Dr. & got over it. It's completely gone & he can't figure out what was going on w/me even after all the tests, x-ray's & exams. I hope this can help some of you or if not help it's a delicious drink.

I also have a recipe for Ginger Pear Punch that I will post at a different time!
