A Ginger Treat...

I've been feeling a bit under the weather since attending a business meeting yesterday. Of course, that's what I get for venturing out into a world full of people.



Mike and I are at home so often that we pretty much pretend the only worlds that exist are our Art and Internet worlds...and that's fine with us.

Nonetheless, after being around other people I always tend to feel under the weather, {cooties galore out there, you know...} so I've been really into Ginger Tea lately, especially when the Airborne doesn't seem to work. Fresh Ginger Root tea is a great remedy for the common cold, a sore throat, indigestion, etc...

Ginger Root Tea

Ingredients
* 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh ginger root {you don't have to peel it, but rinse it off before chopping}
* 3 cups water
* Honey to taste

Directions
In a small saucepan, combine the ginger root and water, bring to a boil and simmer for ten minutes. Taste. If it tastes too weak, continue simmering; if it tastes too strong for you, add more water. Strain and sweeten with honey or raw sugar.
