I’ve been feeling headachy all week. I figured it was all the pressure I was under at work. This morning I felt worse than ever. Pounding headache and nausea. Ugh. Thankfully, I had a nub of fresh ginger in my fridge. Husband offered to help but kitchen activities leave him nearly frantic with flailing helplessness. After watching him fumbling about for a bit, I stepped it and made the drink myself. (He’s a sweetie who does the taxes, computer stuff, and saves me from spiders, but food prep is a mystery to him. Cute. :))
Grated a bit of ginger into my infuser and steeped in boiling water for about 7 mins. Dollop of honey and you’re good to go. It’s a very tasty and energizing drink. I love the warmth and spicy burn of ginger tea. It always feels like liquid health. Delicious too. One large mugful made my nausea practically disappear. Halfway through my second round of this and I’m feeling up to making pickles! Daikon pickles! Can’t wait till tomorrow when I can eat them!

Bahahaha, your husband sounds much like my boyfriend. He’s capable of heating frozen lasagna and grating cheese, but very much gives me a O.o look when I request anything else. I made him make his own bruschetta the other night though (so he toasted the bread, rubbed garlic on it, and put the topping + cheese on it…. under my close supervision, haha). It was amazing.
Glad this seems to be working for you, btw!
I love ginger!
Ginger is fantastic for nausea – and I feel quite fortunate to have a boyfriend that cooks. ;)
Kittena, husband can also make tasty food with very specific direction. But it’s so time consuming and tiring to supervise very little step and answer the unending questions I pretty much prefer to be left alone in the kitchen. Poor well meaning fella. :)
Amy, ginger is my best buddy. Yay ginger!
Jillian, I am jealous! I do love cooking but sometimes I’m just too tired or busy. Would be nice to share that task.
