If you use a cheese grater, like I do, and have cut the root in half, you can grate the fresh meaty part and the skin sorts itself out. I grate it down to the tough skin (Which protects my skin from the grater)! Then discard!

I drink hot honey lemon tea all the time, but I didn't even think to include cinnamon! I bought so many cinnamon sticks (not Vietnamese kind though... I got the huge bag in Indian store) so I'll give it a try!

Oh I could have used this this afternoon! Well, there's always tomorrow. It's really, really cold here and this warm lemonade sounds wonderful. I've been drinking tea all day and this lemonade sounds like a warm refreshing change.

Hi Laura, good question. It really comes down to preference, so you can absolutely leave the skin on. (I actually wrote a little about that in a prior post - http://blog.seasonwithspice.com/2012/07/zucchini-pasta-with-teriyaki-salmon.html).

I was introduced to using fresh ginger while living in Asia, where people generally remove the skin, so I just followed by example. But if I buy organic ginger, I sometimes leave it on for drink/tea recipes.

Question: Why do your ginger tea recipes suggest to peel the ginger? I usually wash it, just wondering if there is something important that Im missing. Thanks!
