This is a healthy, refreshing, zesty drink. It’s taken either hot or cold, and is an excellent flu remedy.

Leaving the skin on, chop the ginger into small pieces.

Strain the mixture through a sieve into a bowl and squeeze remaining juice from the pulp.
In the blender add peppercorns and sugar – then return the strained liquid to the blender and blend until smooth.
