Ingredients
Makes 1 toddy
1 cup water
1 inch long chunk fresh ginger, thinly sliced
juice of 1 lemon

Instructions
Bring the water to a simmer in a small pot and throw in the ginger slices. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how strong you want the ginger taste to be. Remove from heat and take out ginger slices. Add all the other ingredients and stir until the honey is dissolved. If you like it sweet, add another teaspoon of honey.
