Ginger Tea




Ginger has known for centuries as a natural remedy. Now, scientists are finding that ginger works wonders in the treatment of everything from upset stomach to cancer.
I want to share with you my natural remedy for stomach flu, nausea and heartburn relief. I get nauseous a lot in cold weather, i don't know why. As you can see i almost hit the bottom of the glass jar. I love it so much,sometimes i drink it because i like the taste. And the most important is,this stuff works!
I found the recipe online long ago, unfortunately i forgot to bookmark it but i wrote it down. I'm sure you can find this online. But here is the ingredients that i use.
Ginger Syrup:
Ingredients:
-1 1/2 cups peeled and thinly sliced ginger root
-1 1/2 cups White sugar
-1/4 cup brown sugar or make your own (you can make it all --white sugar if you prefer)
-2 cups water
-1 lime
Direction:
Peel and dice ginger root. In a saucepan over med.-high heat stir sugars and water together. Quarter the lime and toss into the pan. Heat to boiling stirring occasionally. Once boiling, turn down to medium -low heat and stir in the ginger root pieces. Let simmer 30 minutes. Let cool. Then pour through a tight mesh strainer or cheesecloth into container.
To make ginger tea:
Pour 1-2 Tablespoons ginger syrup into a cup, stir in 8 oz. of hot water. Sip it slowly.
