Guest guest Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 Hi Jo, I haven't made this without a little honey in it, so I don't know. I don't use very much, but I may try it without the honey, to see what it's like. I have noticed a big difference between ginger roots, the organic ones (when I can get them) make very dark and flavorful tea compared to non organic. I just made tea with all nonorganic, and some of the roots seemed fresher or younger (juicier) than others, so maybe that does make a difference. I usually simmer this lightly with a lid for 2-3 hours. I got the recipe from a book of Asian recipes, and it said that this tea was used as a remedy for colds too. I use it for digestive problems - it helps enormously with acid reflux for me. Keeping the honey out would be good too though, the most recent " Wise Traditions " magazine that the Westin Price people publish has an article about low carb diets helping with treatment of acid reflux and I've cut back drastically anyway on carbs, so thanks for letting me know that this still tastes good without the honey. Funny there's another thing that flies in the face of convention! With acid reflux, I still eat " forbidden " foods - meat, acidic fruits and vegetables. I'm better since I started to use ginger (it's hot and spicy) and I don't eat much from the bottom of the food pyramid! Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
