    Ginger, Honey, and Lemon White Tea Concentrate for an easy cup of delicious, cold-fighting beverage

    Ginger White Tea Concentrate from Living Well Kitchen
    I'm a tea-aholic. I would write a love song for tea. I would fly it to the moon. I would walk 500 miles for tea.

    However, I have a really hard time paying more than $3 for a cup or bottle of tea. The budget-savvy girl in me just will not do that for tea, no matter how much love I have for it. I know that $3 isn't a lot, but when you drink tea daily it can certainly add up.

    I will only spend more than $3 on tea in dire situations, so I like to be prepared to prevent those dire situations from happening. I have bags of tea in every single bag, purse, nook and cranny of anything I own. I don't often find myself in a situation where I am without it.

    However, I do often find myself craving tea. So it's tempting to stop at the local coffee shop and pick up a tea when I'm out running errands. Or grab a bottle of the nice looking bottled tea at the grocery store.

    Those bottled teas always sound so delicious... Mango, Raspberry Lemon, Jasmine Pomegranate... You can see how a tea-lover like me would be tempted.

    Then I spy one that has ginger and next thing I know I'm the proud owner of an overpriced bottle of tea in a pretty glass container. Fiddlesticks.

    How do I solve problems like these? I make it myself.

    Unfortunately, I don't always have ample time to boil water with ginger then add in tea and let that steep then stir in honey and lemon and yada yada yada.

    So I make a big batch of my magical tea concentrate and keep it in the fridge all week to make quick cups of flavored, amazingly delicious tea.

    Why do I call my tea magical?

    Well, I'm convinced that white tea keeps me from getting sick. In the past 5 years, the only two times I've gotten sick have been when I didn't drink my daily cup o' white tea. Coincidence? I don't care; I'm sticking to it.

    Ginger, honey, and lemon are also really great when you aren't feeling your best.

    Keeping a batch of this magical Cold-Fighting Tea Concentrate in my fridge makes it easy for me to get in my sickness-preventing-beverage. Depending on your preference you can make this hot or cold. Just stir 2 ounces {ยผ cup} into 6 ounces hot or ice cold water, and enjoy!

    If you aren't convinced that my magical drink really prevents colds or helps you feel better when you have one, then just make this because it's down right delicious! I may or may not go through batches of this concentrate in one or two days.
