Notes

If you want to make a bigger batch, you can do it in a pot. Bring a pot of boiling water to a boil then mix in a doubled amount of loose chamomile tea and grated ginger root. Strain the tea before adding honey and lemon. You can keep leftover the at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. 
If you can find dried chamomile flowers, you can use chamomile tea bags instead. Use 1 per serving. 
If you can't have honey, maple syrup is a great substitute. For extra flavor, you can also add cinnamon sticks to the tea.
