Japanese Advice

One of the many reasons I love living in Japan.  This is an email snippet from our church choir director, who is Japanese:

Please don't catch cold, stay warm and healthy

(drink ginger tea or ginger soup is helpful these days....)

Make a good ginger drink;

Cut couple ginger slice, honey(or brown sugar), lemon(if you like) and add hot water.

Make good ginger soup;

Grated ginger, bonito, chopped long onion, little bit of soy sauce, add boiled water

Easy and healthy..... Stay warm

 I do believe I must now try these :).  Hope you, too, stay healthy and warm!

*Bonito is tiny flakes of dried fish, often used as a flavorful topping or to make dashi stock (mild fish/seaweed broth)
