Yeah, I took time to stop and smell the flowers ... and I gave 'em each a black eye because I didn't like their attitudes.

A soothing, sweet cup of tea with only 3 carbs. Ah heaven! (If you're not watching your carbs, substitute brown sugar for the Whey Low® Gold.)

Servings: 1

Ingredients:
1" diameter, thin slice of fresh ginger, slightly crushed
1 tablespoon Whey Low® Gold
1 1/8 cup water

Boil all ingredients together for seven to 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the ginger from the water. (The amount of tea that will remain will depend on how fast you boil the mixture, which effects how much evaporates. If necessary, add enough water to increase what remains in the pan so that you have a full cup.) Serve hot.

To make in the microwave, place ginger to a coffee mug and then fill your coffee mug 1/3 full of water. Microwave on high for one minute. Cover and steep for three to five minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the ginger. Add brown sugar and stir. Add remaining water. If necessary to dissolve sugar completely and bring tea to temperature, microwave on high for 30 seconds.
