First, I boil some water. Gotta be boilin’ hot. Then I squeeze some of that lemon juice in a mug. I cut a little piece of that ginger root, peel it, and chop it up real small. I throw that in the mug too. Then a little pinch of that cayenne pepper. Just a tiny pinch, mind ya, that stuff is hot!

Then I pour that boilin’ water over everythin’. Gotta let it sit there for a bit, let all them flavors mix together. Some folks like to add somethin’ sweet to it. Maple syrup, they call it. Or that other one, agave. I don’t usually bother. But if you got a sweet tooth, go ahead.
