Ginger-Garlic-Lemon Kick!

I'm not exactly sure what to call this concoction, so we'll just call it witch's brew. It's amazing. It's surprisingly tasty! It can probably cure anything you have that is respiratory related. I was inspired by my wonderful friend Jacinta, who has cured innumerable people through the use of her own version of this drink. I'm not exactly sure how she makes hers, because she only made it for me once, but I know the ingredients she uses so I went from there. I decided to make mine more like a tea. I like tea a bunch and I thought that it'd be nice to have something I could drink throughout the day. Here's my recipe:

Witch's Brew

Ingredients:

3-4 cups water
1 inch section of fresh ginger
2 cloves of garlic
1-2 teaspoons of crushed cayenne pepper (not powder, unless you wanna die)
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey

Process:

1. Dump water into a cauldron and turn up the heat.

2. While water is coming to a boil, grate the ginger and garlic into the water.

3. Bring water and ginger to a boil and then let it simmer 3-5 minutes (by simmer I mean gently boil)

4. Bring water, garlic, and ginger back up to a happy boil and throw in the cayenne.

5. Bring down the heat and let it all simmer for 3-5 minutes.

6. Take the concoction off the heat and dump in the lemon juice and honey.

7. Stir and strain into a thermos or whatever.

8. Drink and enjoy better health.
