2” chunk
of fresh ginger
3 lg. garlic
cloves
3T raw
organic crystallized honey
2 quarts of
fresh cold water
Zest and
halve or quarter the lemons. Peel and thinly slice the ginger.
Slice then mince the garlic. Bring the water to a rolling boil then
take off the heat.
To the water add: lemon zest, juice, the remains of the lemons, ginger, garlic and honey. Stir. Let stand 20 minutes. Mash everything well with a potato masher, stir again then pour into a covered glass container. Keeps well for several days in the refrigerator. Strain enough to fill a mug, heat and drink. It will develop more flavor as all those ingredients steep together. This is excellent to drink, several mugs a day until it's gone, for a nice gentle cleansing. It's also a really comforting drink for those days when it feels like you're fighting the flu or a cold. Drink up, be well. . .Lin
Footnote: What I actually ended up doing was to leave the tea and remaining ingredients on the stove. When I'd pour a mug I just added that amount of water to the pan and heated it again. Doing this yielded a total of 3-4 quarts of the tea.
