Dr. Joe’s Ginger Tea: 

Here’s  a  simple  formula  to  make  Ginger  Tea.   Use  all organic ingredients if possible.

1 large piece of ginger root (about the size of your hand)
Lemon juice 

To prepare: 

1.  Peel the ginger root with a potato peeler and a small paring knife.
2.  Cut the ginger into chunks about the size of a half dollar.
3.  Place the ginger pieces in a blender or food processor and cover 1/2 way up with lemon juice.
4.  Turn on the blender or food processor and puree ginger/ lemon juice mixture. Mix it at least 1    minute to break up the stings of fiber in the ginger.
5.  To make tea, use one heaping teaspoon of puree to one large cup of hot water.  Sweeten to taste with honey or stevia (this super-sweet plant  extract can be found in most health food stores).
6.  If desired, the ginger pulp can be strained from the tea, or drink as is.

Enjoy this flavorful  immune-boosting  tea in the morning for a great  pick-up!!   Refrigerate any excess ginger mixture; it will stay good several days.  As a bonus secret, after you have the mixture, put it in an ice cube tray.  After it is frozen, pop the “cubes” out and put them in a plastic or glass container so they don’t absorb odors from the freezer and use the “ginger cube” in hot water to make your tea.  It will last longer when it is frozen and will cool off your water to perfect drinking temperature.
