This is the first thing that has made me feel old: my digestive system is getting crotchety in ways I will not go into here.  But the recipe that evens my keel is as follows:

1/4 lb ginger root, chopped up into little tiny pieces
1 cup water
1 cup sugar

Combine and bring to a boil.  Simmer on low heat for 15 minutes until syrupy.  Strain out the chunks, keep the syrup in a jar in the fridge.  Pour a shot into a glass of water and drink for digestive excellence.

I loooooove ginger.

"Stuff with ginger in it" is one of the few things it seems like essentially all early-pregnant women can agree upon, so it doesn't surprise me at all that it makes other sad digestive systems happy.

Also it would make an EXCELLENT eowyn deterrent, should such a thing ever be needed...

Yum! Just "Pour a shot into a glass of water and drink for excellence" also works.

Yeah. The original idea was to copy a drink I had at a hippie restaurant in England. While I was there I was pretty much continuously carsick because of the little windy up-and-down roads with high hedges on either side where you couldn't see where the car would go next. At the hippie restaurant, I believe they used seltzer for a slightly different effect.
