For The Common Cold

Ginger and spring onion tea

Choose-old, stringy root ginger rather than a young, juicy piece, Spring Onions than can be as thin as a pencil or upt o 1 in" (2.5cm) thick. Use one large or two small spring onions.

4-5 slices old ginger root
2 small spring onions, white parts only
green tea
3 cups (850ml) water

Wash the ginger root and cut 4-5 slices abotu 1/8 in (3mm) thick across the grain.
Wash the spring onions and cut off the green leaves - you only need the white parts.
Slice the white parts in half lengthwise and put the ginger and white onion into the teapot with some green tea leaves. Bring water to a boil and pour over the ingredients. Cover and let sit for 2-3 minutes before drinking.

*you can make this tea more potent by adding a little good quailty sea salt.

Enjoy!
