Last night, I just made a batch of the best hot winter drink ever. I make a batch every week or two and keep it in the fridge. It’s great cold or hot. It’s awesome for your immune system. It’s also very warming.
The best thing. It’s easy to make. Ginger and lemon sliced and diced and boiled in water. If you want to help with detox, you can add some cayenne and a bit of maple syrup or honey.
Best tea ever. Though fresh mint tea is tops too. Both are nice, hot and cold. Very inexpensive and full of nourishment.
The other thing I have done for a while is save the water from any veggies I boil or steam and drink it cold the following day. When I do sweet potatoes or yams, the juice makes a very nice tea. Food for thought (sorry for the pun).
I actually just made some ginger water/tea for the first time tonight! Thanks for the recipe! It is very yummy!
Glad you liked it. It’s a great winter immune boost on top of trusty old garlic. Seldom do I go for a tea bag now…saves the packaging. If you have a ginger tea every day, rarely do you get sick in the winter…seriously.
I am loving ginger right now. I am juicing it as well! thanks for the info.
HI! 🙂 Thanks for sharing the green smoothie recipe with your readers. Love me those greens!

Happy to, Eva!
Hopping for Crazed Fan. I always enjoy your blog posts.
My favorite drink – Well, I drink mostly water, a small amount of milk, but water in a lot of tea. All brewed at home. I like anything but black/breakfast teas. And I take it without sugar or milk. Sometimes honey, but mostly straight.
I also enjoy all the holiday shakes there are to taste out there right now. Not enough time in my calendar for all the holiday drinks at Starbucks and other places, either. LOL

I love green tea!!!
Ola Chicka!
Yes I have to take out my juicer and get some good nutrients in this body. I prefer the veggie juices to the fruits and I have to say once you start juicing, your body craves this. it is amazing how good it is for you! Bark kisses!!

Juice, Patty, Juice! Tree hugs!
These look tasty! I used to make a juice out of kale, dandelion greens, celery and alfalfa sprouts to help “cleanse” my colon. I may be forgetting a few of the ingredients, but it tasted like grass. Not good.
Most juices that are really good for you, don’t taste the best! But I like to add some dandelions to my juice!
