"Great if you feel a cold or the flu coming on. You can serve Hot or Chill and pour into a tall glass This spicy tea is a great way to begin or end any meal or to enjoy between meals. Given ginger's renowned antinausea and anti-inflammatory properties, the tea is especially comforting when you're traveling by boat,car or airplane. I've also made it without adding the tea."

Can ginger be brought already grated?

Thanks for sharing. So refreshing. However, to make it faster i use the lemongrass and ginger powder in https://sites.google.com/site/naturalhomeherbs. Taste the same.

Woah! I forgot to sweeten it initially and feel like I got punched in the mouth. It's really nice. I used Jasmine tea as my base.

~Tasty~ passed her cold to me and although I don't have the sniffles to the degree she does, this is comforting and really helps my throat. I cheat and use the lemongrass puree in the squeeze tube. I have never had good luck with the fresh stalks. Thanks, Rita! PS This would make a refreshing iced tea beverage in the summertime with fresh mint or lemon verbena leaves.
