ginger tea

 
Ingredients
8 to 10 slices of unpeeled, fresh ginger
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
maple syrup or raw honey and fresh lemon to taste

Directions
Add ginger slices and grated ginger to 4 to 5 cups water and bring to a boil in a saucepan for approximately 20 minutes.
Add honey or maple syrup, fresh lemon (and or cayenne pepper, chamomile leaves, apple cider vinegar) to taste, whilst stamping a la Ginger Rogers. 
Strain and serve immediately...alternatively you can leave it to steep over night, which will give you more of a ginger kick.
