Eating organic foods in season and from your local area has a profound way to help keep you healthy. It’s God’s way of providing for us perfectly. …
Over the holiday’s I was struck with a really bad flu, so bad that I wasn’t able to cook for myself and I’m not in a location currently with any type of skip the dishes apps or delivery. I was though very blessed to have some people drop me off some meals and take really good care of me but knowing how fast it can happen I decided to make sure I had freezer pre-made meals and soups on hand. Here’s one I really enjoyed and I also mentioned in one of my Youtube videos.
Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for a popular ginger-based beverage called Ginger Tea:
Ingredients:
- 1-2 inches of fresh ginger root
- 2 cups of water
- Honey or lemon (optional for flavor)
Instructions:
- Begin by peeling the ginger root with a vegetable peeler or the edge of a spoon. Remove any rough or knobby areas.
- Slice the ginger root into thin pieces or grate it using a fine grater. The thickness of the slices or the amount of grated ginger can be adjusted according to your preference for a milder or stronger flavor.
- In a small pot, bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced or grated ginger to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Simmering for a longer duration will result in a stronger ginger flavor.
- After simmering, remove the pot from the heat. You can strain the tea if desired to remove the ginger pieces, or leave them in for a stronger taste.
- At this point, you can add honey or lemon to enhance the flavor. Stir well until the honey is dissolved.
- Pour the ginger tea into mugs or cups and enjoy it while it’s still warm.
Tip: If you prefer a cold beverage, you can refrigerate the ginger tea and serve it over ice.
Note: Feel free to adjust the amount of ginger, water, and honey/lemon to suit your taste preferences. You can also experiment with adding other herbs or spices like cinnamon or mint for additional flavor variations.
Enjoy your refreshing homemade ginger tea!

If there was ever a better time to start learning about natural remedies or get a refresher on them, now would be it.
I know for many people of my generation we have had easy access to almost anything we want. The lifestyle of quick fixes and delivery services may be the best we’ve ever seen but are we losing our survival skills and traditions? I’m not sure the answer to that for you but I know that I have had a very keen interest in learning all things natural and survival lately. Maybe it’s because the world has become very uncertain these days and that primal instinct is kicking in, I’m sure I’m not alone. I thought I would put together a list of books that you may want to grab in hard copy for your personal library. If for no other reason than to pass down to your kids. It’s great to have home remedies on hand and remember that nature provides all we need.

Here’s a really great and affordable meal that will feed you and your mates on a camping trip or for a full week if you are just looking for something that will be nutritious for food prep. I made it this week and it got better in taste after the first day in the fridge. It’s lasts 5 days and I have enough to throw in the freezer for later as well. This recipe could feed up to 10 people and all for under $20. Not a bad deal. Plus, it’s full of some of the best micro and macro-nutrients.
