Great! I make my favorite tea with fresh peppermint leaves and fresh ginger…powerful combination.
Sounds good. I’m going to try that.
Great Post. Instead of coffee i mix ginseng and ginger tea with honey to give me a morning boost without the buzz you get from coffee. It warms your body up especially in the winter because the ginger stimulates circulation and the ginseng and honey gives you energy that last all day, without the buzz.
