Lemon Ginger Honey Pregnancy "Tonic"

Lemon Ginger Honey Pregnancy "Tonic"
Feel free to adjust ingredients to taste. This recipe is something I based on a combination of the lemon honey "tea" my mom used to give me when I felt sick (just hot water, lemon juice, honey, and a spoonful of sugar) and this "hangover cure": http://vkreesphotography.com/spicy-ginger-soda-a-hangover-cure/ .


2 cups of water
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 TBSP agave syrup
6 inches fresh ginger, chopped and peeled
pinch of chili powder (optional)
lemon juice
soda/seltzer water


Combine water, sugar, honey, agave syrup, ginger, and chili powder in saucepan. Bring to boil then reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes. Strain mixture and put in refrigerator to cool. Take puppy for to the park for a bit (optional).  When ready to drink, mix 1 part syrup with 1 part lemon juice with 2 or 3 parts soda/seltzer water (depending on how strong you want it) over ice.


This is great for a hot day of pregnancy in Texas
