Ginger Tea

It’s ginger with brown sugar/molasses and oft times there are chunks of red jujube added for good measure. It’s always served HOT. This is what I’ve been drinking all last week when I was sick. Supposedly, this drink is good for chasing away colds, flus and bad circulation. Ginger tea is more of a winter drink and now that summer is quickly approaching I decided to write this quick post about it or else I wouldn’t find another apropos occassion. One can usually find these ginger molasses cubes sold at food fairs around town, especially during fall and winter. I don’t believe I’ve seen them sold in supermarkets but alternatively you can buy brown sugar and mix it with grated ginger to make your own concoction.

Now I better hit the sack and get some sleep or else I’ll end up sick once more and have to drink ginger tea again this week. Not that it’s a bad thing.
