2 Asian pears (quartered, not peeled)
3 cinnamon sticks
2 inches ginger root (scrubbed, sliced, not peeled)
1 gallon filtered drinking water
METHOD:
Place all ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Cover, and immediately turn down heat and let it simmer slowly for 3 hours. Add more water as needed. Strain and serve warm.
