Warming Ginger-Lemon Tea

By SMorrissey

Once, when I felt the onset of cold symptoms, I created this "tea". I have used it every time I feel a cold coming on and have always found relief.
Or use it when you just need a pick-me-up

Ingredients

• 1 thumb of ginger, peeled and sliced thinly
• 1/2 a lemon, sliced thinly
• 4 cups boiling water
• local honey
• dash Cayenne pepper.
