Honey ginger and lemon drink recipe
By Abbey Longe
Feeling chilly already, about to catch a cold or perhaps you have a cough? You might even just be feeling like you just need something to warm you up. Let’s try something different before you grab your medicated decongestants. I discovered something natural, soothing and refreshing … it’s called GINGER. Yes, ginger it is! You can also use it to spice up your meal … watch this space for “how-to”. When you get home from a cold wintry nigh, you know the feeling, you just want to get a hot cuppa. Well, why not give ginger a try. My Naija peeps, give the hot chocolate drink a break, try ginger tea with all its benefits.
Now, let’s do the ginger cold and cough relief concoction!
Ingredients:
I whole ginger
Honey
Lemon (optional)
Spicy taste

Boil on medium heat for about 25-30mins
Take out the ginger
Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey to taste
