"There&amp;#x27;s something about the holidays that sends my taste buds craving warm, spiced drinks. And, the great thing about spices is they lend interest to a drink without making you miss the sugar or whipped cream on top. Here&amp;#x27;s a yummy idea, and why adding ginger to your hot beverage is such an incredibly healthy move... Are you a tea drinker? I&amp;#x27;m a huge fan. As much as I adore coffee, I prefer the way tea makes me feel (less neurotic, more zen). And, as December rolls in, I&amp;#x27;m totally craving teas that are packed with spices, like Good Earth&amp;#x27;s caffeine-free blend of naturally sweet and spicy tea. I also love to make my own ginger tea, which is loaded with cancer-fighting ingredients. Just boil simmer a few tablespoons of fresh-minced ginger with one cinnamon stick and two tea bags in about 3 cups of water. When the tea is strong enough (give it a taste test after about 5 minutes on the stove), strain and pour into a mug. Drizzle a little honey in for sweetness, if you want. Seriously good stuff. And, bonus: Sipping warm beverages, like tea, can reduce your chances of catching a cold or flu virus this season! Enjoy! P.S. More healthy snack ideas!
