This tea works better for us than most over-the-counter medicines, and it tastes really nice. We often prepare it just for the enjoyment.

Ingredients
a few slices of fresh or frozen ginger root, as much as you can stomach (note: ginger can be kept in a plastic bag in the freezer for months and grated or sliced while frozen)
juice of half a lemon or a whole lime, whichever you prefer and have handy
a teaspoon of loose-leaf black tea, or one teabag - you can also substitute green or Oolong tea
honey
Instructions
Heat the tea water.
Add the ginger slices and simmer for a few minutes to extract as much of its good stuff as possible.
Take off the heat.
Add the black tea and lemon juice.
After a few minutes, strain out the ginger and black tea.
Sweeten with honey to taste. You can keep it on the tart side and enjoy the tea Pia-style, or you can add lots of honey to make it sweet and sticky, which is how the Weber guys prefer it.
Enjoy the tea really hot!
