Ginger Honey 薑蜜

Ginger Honey
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon organic honey 
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger, peeled, grated
I like to drink it with warm water. Drinking with flower tea or green tea also give you different aroma tastes. A very good remedy for the dry weather. If you have sore throat, drink more ginger honey.
