HOW TO MAKE GINGER WATER
Add 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger to 8 ounces of almost boiling water.
Let it sit for 5 minutes & then drink!
Ginger will settle to the bottom of the cup & you can drink it just like that OR stir it up if you want to drink those pieces. Either way you’ll get benefits.
If you don’t like the pieces floating around, you can put the grated ginger directly in a cute tea diffuser before steeping.
If you prefer cold drinks, you can refrigerate after making it.
WHY GINGER WATER?
Research shows that about 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger is beneficial for…
Settling an upset stomach or nausea
