I boil some old ginger with honey as a tonic drink when I'm running a fever... It tastes good and feels refreshing. But do not put too much ginger else it becomes very strong. Everything else taste bitter-metallic... except the ginger tonic, orange squash and lightly sweetened tea... water makes me want to throw up. I love ginger on steamed fish too.
