Fresh Ginger Tea
Ingredients:
Water
Ginger root
Optional: lemon/honey
It all starts with the root. If you have never bought fresh ginger root before you are in for a treat. It is carried in most grocery stores in the produce section. Cut off a knob of the ginger and peel it with a carrot peeler. Cut it up into small pieces (you want it fairly thin).
On a pot on the stove boil the desired amount of water (8-10 oz per knob per cup)
Drop the ginger into the water that is boiling and then turn the stove off and over the pot. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
Strain mixture into cup(s)
Stir in any optional additions (lemon/honey or whiskey for an adult beverage)
Enjoy. It is really that simple.
Fresh Mint Tea

Mint sprig or leaves
Water
Optional: Honey/lemon
In a pot on the stove boil the desired amount of water. Once at a rolling boil add fresh mint leaves or entire sprig. Let steep for 10-15 minutes or until water turns yellow/brown. Strain and serve with any desired additions.
Get to sipping!
