Warm Lemon, Honey, and Ginger Soother

Food Wiki

This honey ginger tea with a hint of lemon is a zesty brew inspired by the wisdom of Indian, Egyptian, and Costa Rican traditions, known for their cold-soothing qualities. When under the weather, prepare a batch in the morning and sip throughout the day, warming up each serving as necessary. My husband and I always keep these ingredients in stock during the winter season simply because we enjoy them. To make it more kid-friendly, consider adding a touch of orange juice to cool it down.
