I had a horrid man-cold over the holidays. All I craved before bed was a warm lemony drink to soothe my head. However, reading the back of the package of what I’ve grabbed in the past, I couldn’t handle the thought of 20g of sugar and pseudoephedrine coursing through my veins as I tried to sleep.
So, what does one do? Head to the kitchen.
This is very basic, but it is so soothing and we often forget about it when we most need it.
Recipe:
Put about 2 cups of water in a pot on the stove.
Slice about an inch or so of ginger in fine medallions, same with about half a lemon.
Put these in the water, add a teaspoon or two of local honey and bring to boil, then simmer for 15mins.
Pour into a mug, you can keep the ginger and lemon in there or strain out.
Enjoy.
