Recently I have developed a new love for ginger. It is such a diverse flavor that has a number of great uses. Ginger also has a ton of health benefits including helping to fight disease, serving as an anti-inflammatory, curbs cancer growth, lowers blood sugar, calms nausea, lowers cholesterol and relieves indigestion. With all of these benefits, I updated my ginger recipes and decided they were so good that they needed to be shared.
Ginger Beverages – I started drinking ginger tea after a trip to Berlin with a dear friend of mine. After that, I was totally hooked and it is definitely one of my go-to bedtime drinks. Here are some ways to make ginger tea and of course our favorite ginger cocktails.
