I'm sure we all know someone suffering from spring allergies. In Japan, herbalists recommend this bracing brew to soothe the symptoms of spring allergies and sinus congestion.
Ingredients:
4 slices gingerroot
1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
In a small saucepan, combine the ginger and water and bring to a boil. Continue to boil until the water has been reduced to about 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the chives, cover, and let the brew steep for about 5 minutes. Then discard the ginger and chives and sip warm, up to 3 cups a day. *
*If the weather is damp, increase the gingerroot to 6 slices. If weather is dry, use 3/4 cup water and 3/4 cup orange juice when boiling the gingerroot.
