Ginger Tea

From Vegetarian Times Healing Foods Cookbook Winter 2011. This tea has helped my mother get over the flu and has stopped me from developing a full-blown case of it. We drank one cup a day.

Ingredients

• 1  fresh ginger, thinly-sliced into 12 pieces and pounded

• 3  cups water

Directions

1. Put ginger and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 20 to 25 minutes.
