I did something similar to this - I chopped up 2 lemons, grated about an inch of ginger, & put these in a small jar, then covered them with honey & kept it in the fridge
I'd add about a teaspoon to a cup of hot water, & it was so good (it reminded me of neocitran, & I'm one of those weirdos who actually enjoyed the taste)

How long can you keep it in the fridge? this sounds quite good actually!

It only lasted about 2 weeks for me before I ate it all, but because of the honey, it should last for a month at least, probably longer

[takayanagi]

yea i would probably eat it in 2 weeks as well lol. I really like this idea of everything in the one jar, so if you're in a rush, everything is already done and just one spoonful is plenty. :)

It sounds very tasty but isn't the tea 'chewy' with the grated ginger in it? Or does it settle to the bottom and you only drink the liquid on top? :)

[takayanagi]

it does settle at the bottom, but i always stir it and drink all the ginger bits. its a fine grater i use so its quite easy to drink the wee bits of ginger.

Just curious ... I love pickled gingered and use julienne it for use in stir and frys.

oh yes, love pickled ginger. my partner is not so keen on it so i usually put it in a wee plate just for me! :)

I think you forgot the whisky...

This!

[takayanagi]

lol that's a wee secret!

Heh. It's an age-old remedy, closely related to the Orange Cure. Got a cold? Buy an orange, and a bottle of whisky. Put the orange at the foot of the bed. Get into the bed, and drink whisky until you can see two oranges.
