I'm early in my pregnancy and the doctor recommended ginger ale for the nausea, but we haven't been able to find any where we live that is made with real ginger. This looks like a solution! -Sylvia I didn’t know you could actually make your own ginger ale.. .but I will have to try it.

Many of my friends this winter were homes to colds and/or the flu at some point, yet somehow (perhaps drinking tea every day) I avoided these ills. Not having the flu myself, but seeing others with it, I told them about this recipe once I'd read it. Some willingly tried it, and it always made a difference. Then just a few days ago I was exposed to the cold, and eating less healthily as of late, it managed to break through my defenses. I brewed up some of this using a decent chunk of dried ginger, a good dozen peppercorns, and threw in a few of the chai spices to hopefully temper the strength of the ginger (it helped very little). Oh, and the jaggery too (took me a while to get some, but it's lovely). Took a nap later in the day, and upon awakening, felt great. Enough with the rambling, but had to share my experience with it, seeing it worked so well. Thanks again! <i>Hi Chiggles, It is one powerful drink, isn't it?
