This would have been great to have during my pregnancies. I'll save it... just in case I need it again.
ReplyDeleteCool, I've got 2 packs of those in my cupboard. I'll have to give this a try.
ReplyDeleteoh this is my ultimate cure or just plain comfort for a sore throat. Now I've also converted my girls and they ask for this tea now everytime they have a tickle in their throat. Plus, my grandma says it makes you sing like a lark :)
ReplyDeleteThe ginger chews can also be found at Trader Joes. They are wonderful for an upset tummy, sore throat, sea sickness, prenancies and just plain good for anytime. I have never tried them with tea and will have to do that.
ReplyDeleteMmm, sounds great. I actually bought the Ginger People pieces of crystallized ginger for the first time recently and I was wondering what would happen if I dropped them into hot water. Now I know!
ReplyDeleteI'm an aficionado of Stash brand ginger-lemon tea; it's got a pretty good ginger flavor.
