Ginger tea is sold pretty much anywhere and if you go to an Asian market, you will have a better variety. My relatives love the instant ginger drink which is in a crystallized form and you just add hot water. It does work but you may not like the taste so add honey. Ginger is just strong and it's not for everyone taste.

milk, vinager, and ice plus water of course
