Starving Artist Recipe #2: Ginger-Lime Cooler

This is a simple recipe that can be made hot in the winter (sort of like a tropical hot toddy), or iced in the summer. Ingredient amounts, as always, are approximate, so adjust to your taste:

1 ginger tea bag
juice of half a lime
1 or 2 tsp sugar
1 or 2 oz coconut rum
coriander
ice

Boil water and steep a cup of ginger tea. Set it aside to cool. Squeeze the lime juice into a glass. Add a teaspoon or two of sugar, the coconut rum, and a dash or two of coriander. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then add ice. Pour in the cooled (or still hot, if you're impatient) ginger tea, stir, and enjoy!
