Ginger Tea~
2 quarts water
1/2 cup peeled, grated fresh gingerroot
1/3 cup lime juice
1/4 cup honey
4 regular-size Lipton orange & spice flavored black tea bags
1 cup sugar
mint sprig
Combine the first four ingredients in a Dutch oven over the stove; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer five minutes. Stir occasionally, then remove from heat. Drain to separate the grated gingerroot from the tea. Add tea bags; cover and steep five minutes. Smell that nice scent as it cooks… Remove tea bags. Stir in sugar; soak in sprig of mint as it is cooling. Pour tea through a wire-mesh strainer into a pitcher with ice.
