This gently spicy tea is sweetened with soothing honey and enriched with creamy coconut milk. I love it for the taste but was pleased to see that it’s recommended to patients for its anti-inflammatory properties in the book, Unlocking Lyme by Bill Rawls (an excellent book, by the way. You can read about my Lyme disease story here).
You can read more about some of the encouraging possible health benefits of ginger here.
It’s wonderful to find affordable and simple DIY drinks that give your body a gentle boost in the right direction. It’s gentle, but that doesn’t mean it’s not powerful too!
There is an increase of the flu in the area right now (I’m hoping we don’t catch it) that made me realize what a soothing beverage this would be for when you are under the weather.
During the summer, I plan on pouring it over ice and maybe squeezing some fresh lime juice into it too. Yum!
Helpful hints:
-
- For those who shop at Costco, if you are planning on using a lot of ginger, my local store has a large container of fresh ginger for a good price.
- You will notice that I don’t call for peeling the ginger in this recipe. Just wash the roots well, and you are good to go. There is no need to peel them for this recipe.
Where to Find Ingredients:
-
- I love using this coconut milk or coconut cream.
- This is a lovely raw honey.

I’ve always loved drinking ginger tea every now and then because they feel truly relaxing and soothing. Although I haven’t tried drinking it with coconut milk, I think it’s worth a shot. 🙂
