About three weeks ago, I woke up on a stunning Sunday morning to rays of sunshine pouring through my window and into my bedroom. Soon after waking up, I had a cup of lemon, ginger and honey tea. I was so pleased by the soothing bursts of flavor in those morning moments that I wrote a song expressing my love for the drink. Lemon, ginger and honey tea is one of the more simple things of life, but there is something special about the mix of these three ingredients. Together they form the ultimate remedy. This tea has so many beneficial properties, you wouldn’t believe. So I shall tell you the good it does and give you the recipe!
