Ginger Tea is the perfect homemade tea on a cold winter day when you feel the flu or a cold starting to creep up on you. It’s like homemade medicine – packed with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits and vitamin C. It’s also incredibly easy to make. Ginger has amazing anti-inflammatory properties and really helps sore throats. Honey, especially raw honey like manuka honey is highly anti-bacterial, fighting off bacterial infections that result in inflamed throats. I make this tea every time I fell a cold creeping up my back – even when it hasn’t even broken out yet. It’s my go-to homemade medicine, and it tastes amazing and only uses fresh, natural ingredients. Give it a try, next time you’re feeling a bit under the weather.
