Not Just a Man's World

This is a recipe inspired by Mark Sisson.  It’s incredibly simple to make but much tastier than water.

Ginger and lemon tea

Ingredients:
Water (as much as you need – I usually make a litre at a time)
Root ginger, to taste you need a decent amount
Lemon, sliced

Directions:

1. Finely chop root ginger to the quantity you prefer, depending on your tolerance for ginger.  I usually use about 6 thin slices (about 2mm thick) of ginger, cut into tiny cubes for a litre of water but if you aren’t certain, make it with less and then add more and re-simmer until it’s the strength you prefer.
2. Place in a pan with the water and a few slices of lemon (I allow 3-4 slices for every litre of water).
3. Bring to the boil and then cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes.

You can serve it hot or cold.  Hot, it is like ginger tea (or a tasty paleo alternative to mulled wine), cold it is more like diluted ginger cordial.
