Thanks to Carmen’s advice, my best buddy in Basel. It is so good to have someone who have the same mother tongue and with similar cultural background. I told her about my headache and she said her mom had always made her Ginger, Lemon and Honey Tea. I have not thought of it. I had honey with lemon (sore throat) or lemon with hot coke or hot ginger coke (for common cold)  but the the three ingredients she described. Luckily I have all these three ingredients at home, so I made one right away.

It is very tasty, much better than plain water, I never like drinking plain water as it is tasteless. I went on and drank 2 cups within a short interval. It is really easy to make:

Serves 1

Ingredients:

• 2 tsp grated ginger
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp honey

Directions:

1. Grate the ginger.
2. Boil water, put the grated ginger in a small sieve and place on top of a cup.
3. Pour boiling water over the ginger.
4. Squeeze in the lemon juice and lastly add the honey.
5. Stir and drink while it is hot.

Note:  

• The ginger can be reused for one more cup.
• If you prefer, you can also boil the ginger with water for 10-15 mins instead of the above method, either way it works.
• Chinese believes that Ginger is good for removing wind in the head.
