I have never heard of hot lemonade, is it more like lemon tea, or lemonade that was left out in the sun too long, because just reading the name makes me think it's the latter.
I have a friend whom actually swears by ginger for nearly every ailment. Of course, that's because he really just like the taste of sliced ginger in just about everything he eats.I don't know about calmness, but ginger will definitely keep you warm. I used to drink a lot of ginger tea, just grate it to your favorite tea sieve, let brew for a few minutes and add honey (also good for the winter time, as it helps battle infections) to taste (nowadays I use stevia for sweetening, but I haven't tried it with pure ginger yet). Yummy
I guess it's like lemon tea except that you don't dry the lemon. Because it's hot, you end up using more lemon and sugar so it has a really strong taste. When I'm sick or sniffly, citrus never fails to perk me up. You can used lemon juice if you can't find good lemons. It also works with blood oranges, grapefruit, and limes. My mom uses pink grapefruits to sip on during the day to help stabilize her potassium level. If you're feeling pretty adventurous, make the hot lemonade to your taste preference, then drop some raspberries in it. It's awesome.
That sounds much better than I first thought. I'm actually thinking of making it now.
Well yes, it's quite a wonderful plant. It should help with everything from the common cold and stomach problems to constipation and rheumatism. It's also used for improving digestion and helping with motion sickness.
That sounds amazing! Anything with fall spices is okay in my book!
