You know you're in trouble when..
Turd
You look forward to beverages that look like turd.
Ginger Tea is the best cure for a bloated tummy and stinking PMS blues (Sounds like Sonny's Stinky Fish Blues! Heh. Anyway). Been feeling crappy over the weekend and have course orientation today so I needed a quick fix to help me expel those nasty gases. Which basically means I need to fart and burp big time.

To make this miracle beverage:
1. Lightly pound a good half a fist sized portion of old ginger, complete with skin
2. 1 Pandan leaf, crushed lightly
3. I bag Lipton Tea

Place water, ginger and pandan leaf in saucepan and bring to boil, add pinch of salt. Simmer for 15, turn off fire, put tea bag in and leave to stand for 2 minutes. Add sugar to taste.

If you want more bite, 20minutes should sap the juice out of those ginger chunks. I love it. You know your taste buds are maturing when you look forward to teas and marmalade. Though, the concept of eating pickled orange peel still is revolting, I still have years ahead of me till that happens, I think.

Have a good work week everyone!
