At BYCwinter learn how to stay warm, healthy and vibrant during the cold winter season, as Adena Harford of the Ayurvedic Center of Vermont offers a workshop.

The change of seasons from summer into fall and winter can be a difficult transition.  Lack of sunlight and life along with cold weather can be trying on the body, mind and spirit. Help boost your immune system, generate warmth from the inside-out, and stay cold and flu free with this ayurvedic remedy:

RECIPE: Spicy Ginger Tea

Ginger can be especially beneficial during cold and flu season. Tea is an effective way to ingest Ginger, a naturally a warming root. Ginger tea helps open the sinuses, relieve pressure from congestion, and to reduce fever. Ginger Tea works as an expectorant to clear mucus.

Ingredients:
2 cups water
¼ cup diced fresh ginger
2 tsp. honey
Lemon juice (optional)
Cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions:
Boil water, add ginger; simmer for about 20 minutes.
Strain into your cup and add 2 teaspoons of honey (or to taste).
Optional to taste: try 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and a dash of cayenne pepper to the pot to enhance the stimulating effect.
