I learned about this easy ginger tonic recipe from women’s health M.D. and herbalist, Aviva Romm. I take a shot of daily for overall health but it works wonders for digestion, nausea and even pain relief. I use a blender but you could also probably use a food processor or a juicer. You’ll also need a fine-mesh strainer to filter out the pulp.

1 palm size piece of organic ginger washed well

3/4 cups of water

Break apart ginger and place in blender along with the water. Blend until pureed. Strain mixture through a fine-meshed strainer into a container, using a large spoon or flexible spatula to press as much of the liquid out as you can. I pour the ginger tonic into a small mason jar or container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
