    Would you believe that as a kid growing up on a boat I would get seasick? I would be fine as we sailed out of port, happily sitting at the bow of the boat waving to everyone as we sailed by but as soon as we would get out into the open seas nausea would take over and I would head down to my little bunk to play with my crafts and books.

    Years later, I’ve learned that ginger is a great cure for an upset stomach whether it be from airplane or boat motion, morning sickness, or a general sensitivity. It’s also great for inflammation, pain, and cold and flu prevention.  With so many benefits, homemade ginger ale is a must-have in any home cook’s arsenal.
