Ginger and the changing seasons

The seasons are changing

With the change of season from autumn to winter it is the time of year when colds and flu become prevalent. One of the things we do to help prevent or combat these aliments is a simple cup of Ginger Tea.

Ginger Tea Recipe:
Although not really a tea (it contain zero tea) ginger has terrific health benefits. I often have a cup in the morning if feeling a cold coming on, or “not quite right”. 
Makes 2 serving

Ingredients:
• 1 inch of thinly sliced or finely chopped ginger root
• 2 cups of boiling water

How to Prepare It:
Put the water in a pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and add the ginger. Allow it to lightly boil for 5-10 minutes. Screen the “tea” as you pour it into a mug.
