Calming Ginger Tea uses fresh chopped ginger and water as its base, with maple syrup or honey available as an optional sweetener.

The ginger comes to a boil with the water and then simmers for at least five minutes. A longer simmer will naturally make the ginger flavor more assertive.

The sweetener is added after the simmering stage. This is a warming tea and makes four servings.

Ingredients

• 4 teaspoons fresh ginger, chopped
• 4–6 cups water
• Maple syrup to taste, or honey, optional

Method

Combine the ginger and water in a large pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for at least 5 minutes. Add maple syrup or honey if desired and serve. Makes 4 servings.
