I admit I am aging, haha, I am close to 30 and I will be out
of calendar in few years. Though I don’t want to get older, still I cannot
escape getting old each year. Few years ago, I did not experience any pain and
my body was very strong. However, as times go by different pains come along the
way, from headache to abdominal pain. I have a very sensitive body and my
tolerance in pain is not that good, with this, I started to educate myself in
organic treatment and herbal medicine. A friend of mine told me that she drink
a lot of homemade ginger tea to cure her stomachache. So I researched about the
organic treatment she is using. Most of researched articles about ginger tea
talk a lot about having it beneficial for throat and stomach. I am elated with
what I researched so what I did is to make my own Salabat or ginger tea.

| Ginger and Calamansi Tea |
Here is my mini recipe for Ginger and Calamansi Tea
- Wash the ginger and peel it.
- Cut the ginger in two.
- Put the ginger in a pan with two cups of water and let it boil.
- When ginger is done, put it in a mug and squeeze some calamansi.

| Homemade Ginger Tea |
The reason why I add calamansi is to blend some taste in the
tea. Ginger produces a not so good taste that is why I mixed some sourness to
it. The minty taste of Ginger will become nice after you add calamansi juice.
Anyway, calamansi has vitamin C and this is another good news!
I will still observe the effects of this homemade tea in my
body and I will tell you the real story after a month. Hope this will work for
me because I do not want to rely on over the counter medicines all the time.
The more organic and herbal the drink the more appealing to me.
Wow! Salabat or ginger tea! Perfect for early morning with bibingka or puto bumbong...best alternative for coffee or tea.

ReplyDeleteI've tried brewing the real thing (ginger in a pot of hot water). But I never really liked how it tasted. So I resorted back to the instant kind. Tastes better than the real one. :P
