Ginger Tea. Adhrak Ki Chai.

Honey is the first-known sweetener to man. Pure honey never spoils! That right never spoils!! It is packed with nutritional and medicinal properties! It has been shown to kill bacteria, heal wounds and reduce inflamation. From time immeroial Eyptian and Indians used Honey in their medicines….to mix their concoctions. Applied them to war wounds or minor burns.

Nutritional Info: It is a combination of simple sugars-glucose, fructose, maltose and sucrose. Real honey breaks down slowly in the body than refined sugar! So it gives longer lasting supply of energy. So….that is why it helps to control craving! I prefer to add honey to my warm lemon juice….early in the morning, for all the above reasons!

Its good for Sore throat! Honey works well to clear voice(after cough and cold)! It is used to treat ulcer, constipation and BP.

Ingredients:

Fresh Ginger – 2″ peeled & Grated
Granulated Tea leaves 2 spoons
Honey/sugar to taste
Milk(optional)

Method:

Using mortar and pestle…mince grated ginger. Do not waste its juice.

Now mix this ginger and tea leaves to a pot of water. Bring this to boil. Let this stand in medium heat for really long time. So that the tea leaves & ginger flavour steeps well into water.

Filter and mix with honey. Serve warm as a mind booster. I prefer taking this in the afternoon….when I really feel low and dull.
