Spicy Ginger Tea with Lemongrass

Great if you feel a cold or the flu coming on. You can serve Hot or Chill and pour into a tall glass This spicy tea is a great way to begin or end any meal or to enjoy between meals. Given ginger's renowned antinausea and anti-inflammatory properties, the tea is especially comforting when you're traveling by boat,car or airplane. I've also made it without adding the tea.

~Tasty~ passed her cold to me and although I don't have the sniffles to the degree she does, this is comforting and really helps my throat. I cheat and use the lemongrass puree in the squeeze tube. I have never had good luck with the fresh stalks. Thanks, Rita! PS This would make a refreshing iced tea beverage in the summertime with fresh mint or lemon verbena leaves.

This was so tastey and put to flight the terrible nausea I had been experiencing. Thanks Dr. Rita!

Delicious... The ginger and lemongrass give this a kick and it is refreshing at the same time. I used camomile tea as the basic tea. This will also be very good to drink when you have a cold, for its medicinal effect.It is easy to adjust to your own taste!

I've been a fan of this for a number of years, and add a healthy pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a little zing.
