KILL THE COLD

This is a great drink to have when you feel a cold coming on.  It is a diaphoretic tea, meaning that it will warm you from the inside and promote perspiration.  It's pleasant to drink even when you don't have a cold and just want to warm up and feel good.

1-inch slice ginger

1/4 lemon with skin

1 cup hot water

Juice the ginger and lemon and add it to the cup of water.  You may want to add some nutmeg or cardamon.
