Ginger drink
Description
Ginger drink can be prepared in just a few minutes. In winter, tangerines and lemons are available in virtually every kitchen—add them when brewing. If desired, you can substitute lemon with lime, tangerines with oranges, etc. If you'd like to use honey instead of sugar, make sure to cool the liquid down to 35°C so that the honey retains its beneficial properties. The drink is ready to serve.
