Stage 1 GAPS requires both Ginger Tea and water with lemon (what the rest of us call lemonade!)
The only allowed sweeteners are Raw Honey and unrefined green stevia powder (Dr. Campbell-McBride is suspicious of the white refined powder).

I have both raw Honey (from my farmer's market) and a big pile of lemons (from a grocery sale) on hand. I will be picking up and pregrinding a bunch of fresh Ginger root next week, though might move to dehydrated depending on how annoying this chore becomes.
