Basic Ginger Tea
1 inch ginger, cut into chunks or slices

2 tsp honey
Simmer ginger in water in a small saucepan for 5 minutes. Pour into a mug. Remove ginger pieces. Add honey and stir.
This is the perfect tea for any stomach ailment especially when nauseous.
Beet drink
by Sally Fallon in Nourishing Traditions.
This is how I make it, on a smaller scale. I hope it’s ok to repost this recipe on the web.
2-3 small beets
2-3 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp whey
Chop beets into large chunks and place in a 2 cup jar with a lid. Pour salt and whey over them. Fill the jar with water but leave space at the top. Leave on the counter for 2 days then place in fridge. I drink about 1/4 cup at a time of this, it’s a great liver tonic.
Almond Milk
1/2 cup almonds (I use ones with skin on, blanched are fine too)
1 cup warm filtered water
salt
2 cups cold filtered water
1-2 tbsp honey
1/4-1/2 tsp sea salt
Soak almonds in warm salted water overnight or about 8 hours. This makes them more digestible. I do this in a glass jar. Then drain the almonds.
Mix almonds and cold water in a blender or in a drink jug with an immersion blender. Pour everything into a nut milk bag. Squeeze the liquid back into the jug.
Add 1-2 tbsp of honey and 1/4-1/2 tsp sea salt. Stir well. Enjoy! Refrigerate any unused portion and it will keep a couple days.
Pretty simple, just need to get a nut milk bag. I’m not sure how I would make this without a nut milk bag. To clean the bag, rinse it under water to get rid of the nut bits and then it can go in the dishwasher. I get tired of washing that thing by hand.
Lemonade
1 lemon
1 spoonful of honey
1 cup warm water
Squeeze all the juice of the lemon into a glass. Add honey & warm water and stir until mixed. Add ice cubes if you like a cooler drink, but this is nice warm.
Carrot and celery juice
1-2 large carrot or about 1 cup
1-2 celery stalks
pinch salt
I find straining the juice through a fine mesh strainer works well. My juicer tends to leave some pulp, which isn’t so good on a sensitive digestive system.
If the juice seems too bitter, use more carrot and less greens.
Do you use disposable nut milk bags or a reusable one? Thanks for your recipes!
I use a reusable cloth nut milk bag. It came with my Yogourmet yogurt maker and can also be used to drip yogurt.
For washing, I rinse it under water to get the nut bits off and then pop it in the dishwasher.
Thanks! I think I need to invest in one.
I really like what you guys tend to be up too. This type of clever work and coverage! Keep up the fantastic works guys I’ve added you guys to my own blogroll.
