Te Jenjam/Ginger Tea

source

Ginger has a lot of healing properties. It has been linked to building one's immune system, aiding with stomach pain, migraines, nausea and help with digestive issues. Soon after I had my daughter, I was constantly being told to drink ginger tea every morning for the sake of settling my stomach, bloating and building my immune system. With just a dab of honey, you too will get addicted to this spicy energizing tea. Just don't over do it.

Ingredients

1 ginger root

3 cups of water

grater

sugar or honey (added to taste)

Grated ginger root




Please wash the root before anything. Using a spoon peel off the skin of the root. Then grate the root completely. Once grated you should have stringy and juiced consistency. You use a sealable tea bag to steep into hot water or just spoon in 2 to 3 tablespoons of shredded ginger into 3 cups of water boiling water. Once water comes to a boil lower the temperature and let steep for 5 minutes. If you are adding the shredded ginger into boiling water be sure to strain before drinking. For a creamier texture add in some milk/cream and vanilla. This combination is a creamy, sweet and spicy tea.

Lastly add sugar or honey to taste and enjoy. Place the remainder of the fresh grated ginger into a sealable container and store in the refrigerator for future use. You can even freeze it. This tea is even better during the winter.

Enjoy!

Ji Karot/Carrot Juice

I love carrot juice. Every time I have a glass of carrot juice, it reminds me of when I was on vacation in Haiti. Every morning my aunt would make me and little brother fresh carrot juice. Let me tell you it was delicious!

We have all heard the saying that carrots are good for your eyes and it's true. Carrot are also great for your skin, hair, nails, liver, teeth and bones. The best way to pick carrots are based on the color, the darker the color of the carrot the better and it contains more beta-carotene; which has all the vitamins and antioxidants.

Some people may be thinking, carrot drink is more like a shake and not a juice. But, this is not your regular ole' store bought carrot juice drink. This juice is sweet, delicious and hmmm hmmm good.

Ingredients

13-14 carrot sticks

1 can evaporate milk

4-5 teaspoons of sugar

1 juicer/blender

1 mesh strainer

small pitcher

1 cup of ice

Recipe servings 3-4 cups

If using a blender you will want to remove the skin, cut the ends and cut the carrots into smaller pieces before placing into the blender, rinse carrot and juice. Once you have juiced all the carrots, take the carrot juice and strain twice to ensure that the carrot bits have been completely removed.

In the pitcher, add carrot juice, the full can of carnation milk, sugar and mix thoroughly.  Refrigerate or serve with ice.
