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 beverages.
Instead, why not try ginger tea? You can now buy fresh ginger root in most supermarkets. While the cost per pound isn’t very high, you don’t need anywhere near a pound. I often buy a small knob and use it fresh.
