Ginger is a popular addition to energy drinks, for good reason. You can get the health and energy benefits of ginger tea without buying these expensive, sugar-laden drinks.
Instead, why not try ginger tea? You can now buy fresh ginger root in most supermarkets. While the cost per pound is not very expensive, you don’t need anywhere near a pound. I often buy a small knob and wear it fresh.
