Hello, Has anyone been able to find ginger tea with no peppermint - they seem to put the two together and peppermint is a no no for my stomach ulcer. Has anyone made homemade ginger tea with the spice and putting it in a tea bag? THanks, Debbie IBS-c

It's really easy to make ginger tea.... I think there might even be a recipe in Heather's book.
Ginger Root Tea
4 cups of water
2 inch piece of fresh ginger root
optional: honey and lemon
Peel the ginger root and slice it into thin slices. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Once it is boiling, add the ginger. Cover it and reduce to a simmer for 15-20 minutes. Strain the tea. Add honey and lemon to taste.

I make ginger tea with the root and it is strong and can last a while too as you drink it when sick. Or you can buy ginger essential oil. I was looking at that last night in the natural food section.

So you think that you could add ginger essential oil to water and make tea? Also - do you keep the ginger tea made from the root in the fridge and sip on it all day? Thanks. How much root per water?

I don't know much about essential oils. Our natural foods manager would know about it.
I make ginger tea when nauseated by taking about a two inch? piece of ginger- skin off- and cut it in half or so and then bring to boil and steep. I then drink that tea and add more water to the pan (I'm talking a small saucepan- 2c) and let that sit until I want it warm. I leave it like this all day. It steeps at room temperature quite well and I get a lot of use out of the ginger. Just stop adding new water when it doesn't taste strong anymore. Then you can put it in the fridge in water til the next day and start over. After two days the root gets brown and needs replacing. I drink mine with honey and lemon usually. It tastes very good.
