Perfect for a chilly day, this warm tonic has ginger to help reduce migraine pain and nausea – plus it’s tasty too! Enjoy it warm or stick it in the fridge for an iced version.

  • 1/2 inch piece of ginger, sliced
  • 1 clementine, peeled

Directions

  1.  Add water and ginger to a small pot and bring to boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes or longer if you prefer a spicier drink.

  3. Enjoy! Can be kept in the fridge and reheated on the stove (if desired).
