Spicy Ginger Tea

This lovely tea recipe was inspired by my childhood friend Rachael. She told me to boil ginger root and cinnamon sticks – it smells amazing and makes a great tea. So I tried it and, over time, perfected the proportions and added some honey. Now, at home, I’ll say to Justin “I’m going to make ginger tea, do you want some?” “Oooh, yeah!” he always says. Enjoy this tea during the last cold days of winter.
