I'm not waiting for a cold or flu to drink this tea. I'll drink it anytime! Delicious with just the right amount of sugar. I halved the recipe and cut back on the lemon peel thinking I could always add the juice of the lemon if needed. It was just right for me without additional lemon. The ginger, lemon and tea flavours are wonderful together. Thank you for posting this, Chicagopm!
