We are addicted  to Ginger Tea with lemon and honey at our house. We like to use dehydrated ginger so today that is what I did.

 Five pounds of fresh Ginger, I found Cash and Carry to be the cheapest at $2.00 a pound

 Its amazing how all those trays fit into these two jars

 I hate to waste, so as I was cutting of all the "butts" of the ginger I was trying to figure out what to do with them. Ginger Butt Tea is what I came up with! I took all the butts and put them into a pan of water and let it cook all day on our fireplace. I then strained out the butts and ended up with a highly concentrated Ginger Butt Tea. I took a small sip and wow it cleared my nasal pathway, it made Matts eyes water. I am  keeping it in the fridge to add to my morning tea to kick it into high gear. I will probably freeze a portion of it for the next time a nasty cold takes over our house .
