Yesterday I was cleaning up after dinner and I had some leftover ginger that I just did not want to compost. It was already grated and would not keep in the fridge. Ginger is a very healing spice and is great for digestion and nausea as well as a great for detoxing the liver. Candida Yeast sufferers would benefit from this tea because the pathogenic yeasts do release many toxins.

I decided that I would make a tea out of the extra ginger. Originally when I started to eat ginger I did not love it. But it is slowly growing on me as I use it more in different recipes.

I know I am not the first to invent the lemon ginger combination but this is what I came up with last night.

Lemon Ginger Tea

2 cups of boiled water

1 tsp of grated Ginger Root

Squeeze of Lemon

Place Ginger Root in a tea infuser and let steep in hot water for 10-15min. Squeeze lemon to taste. You can add stevia to this if you don’t find it sweet enough. Some lemons are tart and some lemons are sweet.

You can also cool this recipe and add carbonated spring water to this and make a yummy soda pop!

Note: I really enjoyed this tea! I drank it slowly and savored the aftertaste. It cleanses the palate after a meal and is very refreshing.

To your health and wellness,
