Sauna Grog or Ginger Tea

This tea is made from natural ingredients only and has several benefits. Not only will it warm you up on a cold winters day, but it helps with digestion problems and stomach aches. The ginger acts as a natural antibiotic and calms an upset tummy. Besides that, it is also great when having a cold, sore throat and runny nose. Most important; it is sooo easy to make!

Grate 2 good thumbs of fresh ginger in a small pot. Add the (grated) zest of one lemon, 10 cardamom pots and about 1 liter of water. Bring to the boil and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Pour over a small sieve in a big cup (you don't want all the grated stuff in your drink) and add the juice of half a lemon (or more according to taste). Stir a heaped dessert spoon of honey into the grog and it's ready to drink.
Once cool you can reheat the leftover grog easily. If there's not enough left, just add some more water and bring to the boil again. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes and the grog is ready.

Try a different flavour by adding a cinnamon quill.
Use less ginger if it is too sharp for your taste.
