Ginger Lemonade is my go to for colds, flu, and respiratory issues and because it tastes so yummy my children readily drink it. It also works wonders for treating PMS cramping, upset stomachs and morning sickness. You can drink this cold in the summer months as a refreshing lemonade, but for medicinal purposes it is better to drink it warm.
The Recipe
4 tablespoons fresh grated ginger (I keep mine in the freezer so it doesn't go bad and it makes for easier grating)
1 quart water
2 fresh squeezed lemons
1/4-1/2 cup raw honey (to taste)
Combine water and ginger in a saucepan and just barely bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10-15 minutes. Strain out the ginger and stir in the raw honey and lemon juice. For a more potent cold and flu remedy use Cinnamon/Ginger Honey or Thyme Honey in place of the raw honey. You could also sprinkle in some Cold Remedy Spice Mix or Breakfast Sprinkle.

For a quick, single serve ginger lemonade you can heat some water and add 1 tablespoon of ginger honey and the juice from 1/2 a lemon.
