In China, ginger is considered the first medicine for “cold” diseases, that is, for those ailments that are caused by hypothermia or overstrain of the nervous system.
And our ancestors, who lived in the Middle Ages, even believed that ginger helps against the plague.
There is no certainty about the plague, but one thing is known for sure: a drink prepared on its basis will help you warm up quickly and, in addition, effectively protects against colds.
To taste this tea, you will need fresh ginger root, which must be grated.
To prepare one serving of the drink, you will need 1 teaspoon of grated ginger and a glass of warm water.
Pour water over the “tea leaves” and leave for 40 minutes to let the drink steep.
Before drinking, you can add honey or lemon juice to the tea, which will enhance the taste and medicinal properties.
It is recommended to drink ginger infusion in the morning or afternoon, probably because after drinking it you will immediately feel a surge of energy.
