Ginger Tea - Indian Herbal Tea Recipe

Ginger Tea for Cold and Cough
Ginger Tea Recipe

I drink this tea when I am attacked with cold and cough, and fever. The heat from the ginger helps kill the germs and the honey soothes my sore throat. This one is a multi-tasker because it also heals stomach ailments; ginger and cinnamon are particularly helpful in alleviating the symptoms of a bad stomach. Also very good for arthritis pains especially during winter - ginger tea helps relieve joint pains.

Ingredients:
1 tsp ginger root, grated
1 1/ 2 tsp honey (depends on how sweet you want)
2 cloves
1-inch piece cinnamon bark
3-inch strip orange peel (optional)

Method: 
Bring your cupful of water to a nice boil. Next, add in all the ingredients except honey, bring the heat down to low, and let everything steep for about fifteen minutes. Strain into a cup, add honey and drink/sip hot.
