Ginger tea

Ginger is hot, spicy taste and a little goes a long way. Ginger tea preparations are among the most popular ways to take ginger. To make the tea, boil 10 grams of chopped fresh ginger (about a quarter inch slice). Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Strain and serve. Add lemon and honey to taste.
