Dot’s Thot:  Fresh Ginger Tea and Honey Recipe for the Sniffles

Took ginger tea and honey last night for the sniffles — all gone this morning.  Here is how I made the tea:    1] Take a knob of ginger about as long as the first joint on your thumb.  2]  Peel and grate the ginger.  3]  You can put it in a tea ball or place in a strainer that fits on top of your mug (use a sturdy mug).  4]  Make piping hot water  5]  Pour the hot water over the ginger.  6]  Let steep a few minutes.  7]  If using a strainer, press ginger with spoon to extract more essense. (This is my preferred approach).  8]  Discard ginger.  9] Add honey to taste (I like the raw, unfiltered honey from Kern County, CA which we buy along the way when we drive from LA to SF).  10]  Sip while hot and steamy — relax.

If you like, you can use the ginger with some green tea.  I make mine just with ginger, honey, and hot water, but you can see what you prefer.

Aloha —-  Dot
