You're in the minority if a lurgie hasn't waylaid you this past month!

Here's a ginger tea to heal your roughed-up throat.

Cook up 15g ginger, grated in 500ml water.

While it's warming, make a slurry of 1/2tbs of potato or corn starch dissolved in 1tbs cold water.

When the ginger-water tea is hot, use a whisk to stir in the slurry and bring the mixture to the boil.

You should see your tea thicken - just slightly - and grow a little cloudy.

Take it off the heat and stir through 2tbs of your best honey. Manuka is good here. Squeeze in some lemon if you have. Drink one cup immediately and save the other for bedtime.
