ginger delight

Ginger delight may sound like a stripper's name, but the post is really about a wonderfully delicious ginger tea recipe that, as someone pointed out in the comments, New York Magazine happily persuaded the Balthazar Bakery to share.  Mint, ginger, lemon, honey and a cinnamon stick make up a heady brew that not only tastes great but also helps knock out impending colds or ones that just won't quit.  Highly recommended, especially with winter on its way.
