Warm Ginger Honey Digestive Tonic

Ingredients

• 1-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced thin
• 1 tbsp raw honey
• Juice of half a lemon
• 1½ cups water

Steps

1. Simmer the ginger slices in the water for 5 minutes. Don't boil it hard, a gentle simmer keeps the good stuff intact.

2. Pour into a mug and let it cool for 2 minutes.

3. Stir in the honey and lemon juice. Never add honey to boiling-hot water, it kills the enzymes.

   From my cabinet

   Once or twice a week I add 2 drops of oil of oregano to this tonic. It's intense, but it's my go-to move whenever my stomach has been unpredictable.

   ✓Cold-pressed and high in carvacrol, the compound that does the actual work. A bottle of drops lasts months.
