SERENE CHATS: Got a little scratchy throat? Maybe feeling a little under the weather? Or do you just want more pep in your step? Blast those gweebly germs and put a fire under your immune soldier troops. This ginger-flooded tonic is designed to make you holler like a sailor, hopefully a converted one. Don’t get scared! This is fun pain. It really is an addictive, delicious swig of enjoyable intensity that can help decrease inflammation in your body.

Ingredients

fresh ginger (4 inch chunk; 6 inches for absolute ginger psychos like Serene)
2 cups water (plus more if needed)
2 large lemons (use the juice of 2 large lemons)
2 doonks TH Pure Stevia Extract Powder (2 to 3 doonks)
ice cubes (to top it off)

Instructions

1
Coarsely chop the ginger and place it in a blender with the 2 cups water. Blend on low for 30 seconds to 1 minute. (Do not blend on too high a speed as the ginger fiber will become emulsified into the water.)
2
Strain the ginger juice through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and squeeze the ginger mash in your hands above the sieve to get every dreg of the medicinal juice. (If you don’t want to use your hands, then just press the ginger with the back of a large spoon while it is in the sieve, but not too hard as you don’t want to force any fiber through the mesh.) If this sounds complicated, it is not, it is simple and quick.
3
Now pour your ginger juice into a quart jar and add the lemon juice and stevia and stir. Add ice to the top of the jar and a little additional water if needed. Taste and adjust the flavors to “own it.” It should grab your throat. Do you need more lemon? A touch more sweet? Get to feelin’ better, Mama.

Recipe Notes

Intro continued.....Four-letter words have been turned into a much nobler string of ten or more letters like BOOMDABBER BAFOODLEMUB!!! Of course, you might be more civilized in nature and restrain your whiskey-throated blast to a polite little “ahem” with a covered mouth. Either way we want this toddy to burn the nasties out of your system and build up your health so you can keep awhistlin’ your favorite maritime tune.
