Tummy Tea



Sometimes you just don't feel good. It's not exactly a sickness of any particular sort but you just feel crummy, whether is due to stress or lack of sleep. Laura came back with my new favorite home remedy for tummy aches and general crummy-ness - Ginger Tea. It's really all quite simple, but she made this concoction several times for me in the last few weeks of school during the late night study sessions (hence the picture below of my messy desk.) And now I'm sharing it with you!



Ginger Tea

1 T. grated ginger root
1 pinch of black pepper
1 1/2 c. hot water
1 T. honey
1 t. lemon juice

1) Heat the water in the microwave
2) Bundle ginger and pepper in a tea steeper (or a small sac made of paper towel and dental floss like Laura did)
3) Let the ginger steep for several minutes
4) Stir in honey and lemon juice
5) Enjoy!
