benefits of lemon and ginger tea, how to make ginger tea at home

Winter is here and it is not going anywhere anytime soon! This lemon and ginger tea with warm winter spices is my home remedy to stay 10 steps ahead of that sniffly nose, sore throat, and body aches.

This “unchai” tea not only boosts immunity, it also heals and soothes if you are feeling a little under the weather. It takes just about 10 mins to make it with fresh ginger root and you can easily keep it in a flask to sit on whole day.

Believe me your body will say Thank You. Mine does, every day! 💚

Have a healthy winter!

I love the textures of the assembled avocado toast — crusty bread; soft avocado spread, fresh arugula, and roasted sweet potato. Avocado toasts have been around since ...
