Soothing Green Tea w/ Ginger Root

Yep, I know. I had the same reaction when my mom made it in my kitchen for the first time when she came to visit. Growing up my mom always made her own tea concoctions ranging from chamomile and lemon to fragrant peppermint, so tea mixtures are not a foreign concept to me. I can even dig green tea – especially Lipton. However, the thought of fresh ginger root and green tea made my stomach turn and come to find out this is the perfect solution to that particular ailment! It can also be chilled for a nice summer day brisk drink! I know that it may sound appealing to some and not even close to others. I once would be categorized in the latter. That has all changed now and I hope that you will try it for yourself and feel the same way! Take and big gulp and let out a good "aaaaaaah"!

4-6 packets of Lipton Green Tea

1 piece of fresh gingerroot

In a large pot start boiling approximately a gallon of water to a large pot. Bring to a brisk boil and add your Lipton tea. Take your gingerroot and shave it using a spoon (I have found this to be an easy and very safe technique!) Cute into medium pieces and add to the water. One you have all the ingredients in the pot, stir it a bit so that it can mix together well. Turn the heat down to low allowing the tea to simmer for about an hour or so. You can drink it hot to relax you after a stressful day at work or let it cool down and add it to the fridge for a nice midnight drink to quench your thirst. Enjoy – I know that I do!
