if you are super sensitive for motion, you probably already tried a lot of cures. as i do not like to take medicines and would like to enjoy travelling more, i renewed my search for a cure. last week i made candied ginger, as ginger still seems to be the best way to feel as less sick as possible. my son tried out. it is delicious and really diminished the sickness a lot. the only disadvantage was the ginger being really hot. now, after a week, it has become somewhat softer in taste. so try it out yourself. use a more healthy sugar like raw cane sugar or another sweetener if you prefer.
the recipe i used:
1 ginger root, peeled and sliced
add water (1 cup per 100 mg of ginger)
cover and cook for 35 minutes or until tender
drain the ginger, keeping the water
weigh the ginger and add as much sweetener
reheat the ginger, water and sweetener and keep stirring until the sugar (re)crystallizes (20 minutes)
transfer to a cooling rack with backing sheet underneath and let dry
the result: candied ginger and ginger sugar
mjam. delicious, even if you never experience nausea.
