It’s cold season! Are you feeling stuffed up and yucky? This this natural, delicious ginger tea is just what we recommend.

Did you know ginger helps relieve congestion? Inflammation of mucous membranes in your nasal passages and sinus cavity are what cause the build up of congestion and pressure. Ginger will help lessen inflammation while the warm steam vapors can help with congestion and the tea itself will help add fluids to your body.

 

Recipe:

-6-8 tablespoons of freshly grated ginger root
-A pinch of cinnamon
-A squirt of lemon juice

-4 cups of freshly boiled water

Directions:

Place the freshly grated ginger in a 1 quart glass jar. Sprinkle in your cinnamon. Carefully pour the boiling water into the jar and cover, allowing the mixture to steep for 30-40 minutes. Using oven mitts or a towel, carefully pick up the jar and strain the mixture, pouring the delicious tea into your mug or tea cup. Add honey and lemon for extra health benefits. Be sure to breathe in the steam as you sip. If needed, reheat your tea slightly. Tea can be stored for up to 24 hours. Be sure to drink your tea at least 3 times throughout the day.
