This lightly sweetened lemon ginger water not only quenches your thirst, but it's also loaded with ginger's many health benefits. Adjust the honey and ginger to your tastes. I like to sip this detox drink throughout the day, especially during cold and flu season. I sometimes like to add turmeric or a couple pinches of cayenne pepper to the mix.
