I also have been adding a slice of lemon and
a few slices of ginger.
Begin by soaking a few pieces of kombu seaweed in several cups of water for 15 - 30 minutes and bring it to a simmer with
a few slices of ginger.
Try a tea made with hot water simmered with
a few slices of ginger and a small amount of honey and lemon for a soothing tonic when you are sick.
You can either crush
a few slices of ginger and steep it in hot water or peel then grate or slice a few ginger roots and boil it in water that you can then drink afterwards.
