FINGER-THAWING HERB TEA

SERVES 4

Katniss got a lot of comfort from being in Gale’s home and being around Hazelle, Gale’s mother. It was fitting that Hazelle gave Katniss this tea to warm her hands and insides after coming in from the cold.

This tea is also excellent for helping you through a cold or flu. Dissolve one tablet of vitamin C in the tea while it’s hot. It’ll add a lemon flavor to the tea and help you to feel better, too.

3 GREEN TEA BAGS

1 QUART PLUS 1 CUP WATER, DIVIDED

½ CUP SUGAR

1-INCH PIECE GINGER, SLICED, PLUS MORE FOR GARNISH

1 TEASPOON ORANGE ZEST

Put the green tea bags into a teapot and pour in 1 quart boiling water.

Let steep until it comes to room temperature. Remove the tea bags and discard.

Meanwhile, boil 1 cup water, the sugar, the ginger and the orange zest in a saucepan.

Stir to dissolve the sugar, then combine the mixture with the tea.

Garnish with a thin slice of ginger in each cup and serve immediately while warm.
