1 gallon water
24 slices of ginger

Once boiling, reduce to medium heat and partially cover.
Continue to boil for 60-90 minutes.
Strain and drink. Store remainder in fridge.

This gallon of ginger tea is an effective digestive and immune booster.

There are different ways to enjoy this batch:

add a squeeze of lemon juice to your tea
add 1-2 cups of ginger tea to your vegetable broth to make an immune boosting soup
add a few shots of ginger tea to your smoothie

If you just want to make one cup at a time, there are a couple of ways to make a quick cup of ginger tea:

To a cup or two of boiling water...

add sliced up ginger to the boiling water, boil for 10-15 minutes, then serve. About 4 inches of ginger root is a good start, but it also depends on the potency of that root-- some are spicier than others.

grate a 4-6 inch piece of ginger root and squeeze the juice from the grating with your hand into the cup(s) and add boiling water. This method will yield the strongest and spiciest cups of ginger tea. If you have a juicer, it's definitely easier than grating.

We know how much this is enjoyed after class. It's also has amazing benefits (see below).
Since alas we aren't able to meet in person, here is the recipe. As long as you are making it, might as well make it by the gallon. Store in a glass mason jar after it cools, and heat as you need.

Spices and their benefits:
Black pepper: blood purifier
Cardamom pods: digestive aid
Cloves: beneficial to the nervous system
Cinnamon: strengthens the bones
Ginger root: healing for colds and flu, increases energy, also a digestive aid
