Ginger tea is a warming winter drink, which is recommended on the GAPS Diet and prefect for soothing winter sore throats.  Ginger is found in most grocery stores now, and is easy to peel when you use a spoon (see video).

This tea is a great recipe for children to make, little ones can help peel, and older children can use a paring knife to slice into ginger coins.

Use this tea starting on stage 2 for the GAPS diet, when herbs are introduced.
