Lemon Ginger Tea
"I love this tea. It's very refreshing. The "tea" in this case refers to the infusion process used."

I grated the ginger (half the amount called for) in my vita mix. I was going to make half but a 1/2 pound was just to much for a half gallon of water so I ended up with a gallon. Step #2 doesn't say how much water to use so I used 2 quarts and steep for 3 hours. I would recommend at least twice the amount of lemon juice and honey.I froze the strained grated ginger to use in soups, stir frys,...This is great for upset bellies, colds and just make you feel good.

After many many years of having a houseful of kids, I'm now cooking for one (sometimes 2 when my teen finds his way home). It's actually quite a challenge and it's a good thing I like leftovers!
