I have been drinking an amazing home made, cold ginger tea for the last month. I tried it first at a local cafe after giving up coffee and was stunned by the delicious taste, the burst of energy and lively feeling that followed.

I decided to recreate it at home. After a few tries, I got it down. Every night, I peel and chop a few cups of ginger, and toss it into a big pot of water. I let it simmer for about twenty mins, while doing other stuff, then let it cool, add some honey or Stevia, and let it steep. I then strain it into a big pitcher and stick in in the fridge. I drink it all the next day whenever I feel hungry or thirsty.

I have noticed some pretty thrilling results. First of all, half of my normal, daily 'cravings' have disappeared. My body feels better regulated than it has in months, and even my skin feels great. I don't generally enjoy drinking water, but this is so tasty I could drink it endlessly. I've also turned on a lot of friends to it and now they make it as well. I recently googled to see if the ginger and weight loss was my imagination.... and found that this has been kind of a historical fact!

I do a lot of my shopping at the co-op but for my ginger ritual, I go to the Asian markets and stock up for just a few dollars. It also takes a very short time to get it going, and the results are marvelous.
