The warmth of ginger is instantly comforting, and the golden color looks like sunshine in your mug.
Bonus Tips from Grandma’s Notebook
Drink it warm, not scalding hot – “Too much heat burns the goodness,” she’d say.
Choose fresh when possible – Fresh ginger and turmeric “wake up the body” more than powders.
Add cinnamon in winter – Traditionally believed to support circulation as well.
Pair with movement – “A warm cup and a short walk go hand in hand,” grandma always reminded us.
Not a ginger fan? No problem. Folk traditions also suggest alternatives like hawthorn berry tea, or even green tea with a pinch of cayenne, both thought to help support healthy blood flow.
