My roommate, Kristina is under the weather. Coughing, sneezing, pajama pants at 3 PM on a weekday sick. She is not happy about it.
So, I made her a cup of this stuff. It’s magical—I swear by it. Whenever I feel a cold coming on, I make a big pot of it and sip it all day. It’s slightly spicy, thanks to the ginger, and soothing on the throat, thanks to the honey. It’s also delicious (even if you’re not sick), chilled and served over ice.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1 2" piece ginger, chopped (no need to peel) $0.50
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges (reserve one or two for garnish) $0.50
- honey to taste Pantry
Recipe Serves 1
Directions
- Combine water, ginger and lemon in a small pot.
- Cover and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered for 8-10 minutes.
- Strain and pour into a mug. Sweeten with honey to taste.

My roommate is suffering from the cold and flu which he probably got from the sudden change of climate. I do not know whether Ginger-Lemon Tisane will work fine for my roommate or not but I would try it. He has a lot of writing work ahead but he is too sick to do that but I have hired an online writer for his writing work after reading reviews about EduBirdie at essayyoda.com website, thanks to source that shares real and honest reviews about writing service.
