Ginger tea

I adore hot tea. Almost as much as I love my coffee, which if you know me then you know I drink coffee from the time I wake up until the time I go to bed. Nothing beats a cup of hot tea when the weather is dreary or I'm not feeling well or I just want something different from my usual cup o' joe.

What you'll need:

• 1 - 2 tea bags
• 1 tsp ground fresh ginger or 1/2 tsp ground dried ginger
• 1 medium lemon
• Honey

Bring a teapot (or medium saucepan if you don't have a teapot) of water to a boil. Remove from heat. Add tea bags (1 for weaker tea, 2 for stronger) and ginger and allow to steep, covered, for 20 minutes. Add the juice from the lemon and pour into individual cups. Sweeten with honey as desired.

Cost:

tea bags - $1.44

ground ginger - $3.26

lemons - $1.99/4

Total - $1.04
