Lemon and ginger is a spicy match made in heaven! The pair do well in teas, but can also add a bright kick to your pastas and other dishes. If you’re new to eating ginger, start with a small knob of it that’s a little smaller than your thumb. That way you can experiment with the flavor without it being too overpowering. Lemons are wonderful to incorporate into your diet; you can use the lemon juice at the end of the dish for an extra splash of flavor, and even use the rinds to add a few zesty shavings on top for style. Plus, the lemon flavor can help bring out other savory flavors in dishes, so either way, you’re in for a treat.
