From Ginger's pantry
You'll need
- 1 mug of hot water (a grown-up boils it)
- 3–4 thin slices of fresh ginger, or ¼ tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp honey, or a little more to taste
- A squeeze of lemon, if you have one
- A cinnamon stick, if you're feeling fancy
Aprons on
Let's make it
Put the ginger slices in the bottom of your mug.
Grown-up: pour in the hot water and let it steep 5 minutes.
Stir in the honey until it disappears.
Add the lemon squeeze and the cinnamon stick.
Wait until it is warm — not hot — then sip it slowly by a window and watch for snow.
Cooking options
🔥 Stovetop — Ginger's Main Method
A grown-up boils the water in a kettle or pot, then pours it over the ginger to steep for 5 minutes.
📡 Microwave — Ginger's Speedy Method
A grown-up can heat the mug of water in the microwave until it steams (about 1½–2 minutes), then add the ginger and steep for 5 minutes. The mug will be hot — a grown-up lifts it out.
