How to make real ginger tea

he humankind has come up with more than one uses for ginger. However, my favourite is to make tea from it. Tea here means hot drink, herbal tea if you will, as no actual tea leaves get anywhere close to the pot.

The recipe is simple, to make 1.5 litres of tea:

1. Grate a 7-8-cm piece of ginger.
2. Grind the rind off a lemon.
3. Tip 1 and 2 into a pot with hot water.
4. When it cools down somewhat, squeeze half a lemon into it.
5. Add honey to taste.

The sweet-and-sour combination of lemon juice and honey with the zesty tinge of ginger and lemon rind warms you up from the inside like good brandy. It is ideal for colds or just cold winter evenings.
