ginger tea

i made ginger tea last night with just the powdered ginger i had in the kitchen, but it seems to be working... sophie and i already went for a quick walk this morning and cleaned the kitchen and i even ate breakfast before lunchtime. the tea tastes nasty but if it works that's all i care about! here's the recipe:
1 cup water - bring to boil in a small pot
1 tablespoon ginger - add to boiling water and boil for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and add
1 teaspoon honey - stir to dissolve.
i just poured it into a nalgene and have been sipping it all morning.
dwayne had to be at work at 3:30 in the morning today to do a 8 mile march with their big rucksacs on and everything.
doesn't sound fun to me!
