Ginger and Lemon




A friend shared this ginger and lemon paste that keep him and family away from doctor. I was curious and asked him how he make the paste. After trying this home remedy,  find it is good for me. The ginger help me to clear the wind from the stomach and at the same source of vitamin C. Daughter likes it too. Ever since I learnt this new remedy, daughter and I have been drinking ginger and lemon water daily. Sometimes we add honey into the drink but most of the time we drink it without honey. Thanks to this brother who shared his home remedy that all can benefit from it. 

Few months ago we were away for family trip. 2 days after we touched down, 3 out of 4 in the family were down with sore throat  and unwell. As you know when we are in unfamiliar place or oversea, it is not easy to find clinic to visit doctor. Instead of looking for clinic, we went to the nearby supermarket and grap lemon and honey and ginger back to our apartment.  There was no blender at the apartment. Still we can have ginger lemon honey drink. We sliced the ginger and lemon and place them into  cups  and pour boiling hot water into the cups then add the local honey and drink. We recovered from sore throat within 1 or 2 days without medication. So throughout the trips we continue to buy lemon and ginger whenever we go supermarket and drink ginger lemon water.😊


Ingredients:
Old ginger about 3 fingers size (appr 100g-120g)
1 lemon
1/4 cup cold water

Method:
1. Wash the ginger and lemon. I scrub the surface of lemon with salt, rinsed, and soak with vinger added with water for 10mins. 

2. Slice ginger and lemon to small pieces and place into a blender. Add cold water. Blend until it become a soft paste. 

3. Store into a cleaned dry container and keep in fridge for use. 


4. Each time use a clean and dry spoon to scoop a spoon and add with warm water and drink. It is a good source of vitamin C and ginger help to remove wind from stomach. You may add some honey if you like it sweet. I drink just as it is. 

Enjoy!😊

    1. Hi Ellaa, yes I am still doing this once my stock finish. I usually make enough for a week. You may try no water but it will be very difficult to bend and no smooth
