I usually make a strong cup of tea with lemon, ginger, and honey for our head colds (it seems to help with congestion and speed up healing). This had almost everything in one place. I brewed him up a cup added the honey and afterward he didn't know it wasn't moms regular brew. He couldn't really taste it either so I had some too. There is a strong ginger taste but since I use this formula for colds I want a strong ginger taste. I enjoyed this tea and will continue to. I like that I won't have to run out and get some ginger if I have this on hand.
