Ginger tea

​At the onset of sore throat and/or colds, ginger tea is my go-to home remedy.

It's highly effective in relieving sore throat after taking only two cups, at least in my experience.  I drink ginger tea for a whole day and usually the sore throat and/or colds disappears.  The best thing about it is ginger is all natural and always available at home.

To prepare, use 3-5 knobs of peeled ginger.  I give them a good whack

 to release the 

aroma and flavor 

before putting it in a pan. Boil 

the ginger with 2

​-3

 cups of water.

​ Cool down a bit before drinking.  

Adding honey or lemon slices are optional.​
I take my ginger tea as is.
