I’ve been off daily coffee for almost a year. This is what I drink in the mornings now:
- In saucepan put grated fresh ginger—the more the better, cinnamon, black pepper, and water.
- Bring to a boil
- Put 2 Good Earth Original tea bags and 2 black tea bags into quart container. Pour water over tea. Don’t take out tea bags; that way it gets stronger as you drink it.
Don’t strain it, chew on the ginger pieces while you drink. I’m using about 2 pounds of fresh ginger a month these days.
Cheapest way, I have found, to get Good Earth Tea is from Amazon “subscribe and save” plan. It works out to 3.00 for a box of 25, delivered.
WARNING: May cause euphoria.
Your tea sounds wonderful. In summer I make sun tea. Essentially it’s the same as boiled tea except you don’t boil it and it takes about 12 hours for the tea to form in cold water. You don’t really need the sun for this, but it does help speed it up a bit. If you don’t mind drinking tea that’s not hot, it’s fine.
