Earlier today I called my parents just to let them in on how I’ve been ill as of late. Mom made it a point to drop by my place to drop off some food and meds. It totally wasn’t expected or necessary, but it was a welcome gesture. When she arrived, one of the items that I was most thankful for was a piece of ginger root. Growing up, whenever someone had a sore throat there would be some ginger on the stove boiling away. I swear, drinking ginger tea does wonders. It’s like liquid fire as it goes down, and within an hour the soreness that was there is greatly reduced. I made a pot a few hours ago, and after drinking a few cups I’m feeling fairly relieved. I want to drink down a few more cups before I go to bed tonight just to give myself a fighting chance tomorrow.
How do you make some of this? Take a pot and add a few cups of water. Bring that to a boil. Take about two inches of ginger root and slice it thinly. Add that to the boiling water. Turn the heat down and let the whole thing simmer for about 15 mins. Strain the liquid when done. Add a little bit of sugar before drinking. Seriously, this stuff is amazing. Nice and spicy going down.
