The enchanting Snow Goddess, Khione, draped her wintry cloak over NJ today, Saturday, Jan 21, so our "Embracing Menopause" class at The Room Above in Brookside, NJ will be rescheduled! (Update:  New date:  Sat, April 14 at 1:30PM)

This is a wonderful opportunity to slow down and take a few moments to enjoy Khione's sparkling presence with a warming herbal tea!

Give this tea a try on any brisk wintry day:

• ~ 2 Tablespoons grated ginger root
• pinch of cayenne powder
• juice from one fresh lemon
• honey, to taste
• 1-2 star anise pods  (optional, but oh so yummy!)

Grate about 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger root, add to saucepan of boiling water and simmer for about 10 minutes.  Remove from heat and pour into a quart or half gallon-sized mason jar.  Add fresh lemon juice and honey to taste.  Sprinkle barely a pinch of cayenne pepper powder and add 1-2 star anise pods.  Cover with a towel and let steep about 20 minutes.  Strain and enjoy! 

Not only will this tea increase circulation and thoroughly warm the body, it can also be used for sore throats, congestion, colds and flus.
