Ginger is often used for upset stomach, morning sickness, nausea, migraines, arthritis, respiratory issues, mucus and phlegm.
It is high in gingerols and shaogals that help relieve a sore throat and drain nose congestion and are also said to kill rhinoviruses which cause cold and flu.

Cook the first 4 ingredients, low temperature for 60 min until the water turns light brown
Add lemon in the last 15 min.

I like to use honey as it has anti-inflammatory properties and soothes sore throat and eases coughs.
