I have a friend who cooks Asian style as her background is Indian. It is she who has been stressing to me my need for cooking with ginger, in order to resolve my throat issue. She sometimes cooks in my place, but sometimes I am not impressed probably because she can't find in my pantry those products she has in her own home. I have been googling and apparently lemon, a little honey, and ginger, very good for the winter lurgy, as you say Taurisk. Also, apparently the same can make a wonderful summer drink when soda water is used to get a sparkly refreshing drink. I love ginger in syrup, but I know it is absolutely full of sugar and can rarely stop at a single piece. Buderim ginger marmalade, aerated drinks, etc all yum but too much sugar.....

@picastoc - ginger is great to get a quick 'different' taste in - say - a bland chicken soup (from real stock, though) - the tea with lemon, honey and ginger is a favourite of mine, and the little expense to have fresh ginger is worth it, even if it goes dry after a while (I tend to forget about it, but have to revive that custom - no more 'drinkies' for me - the alcoholic kind or even just the added touch of rum - for a while -

Buderim! products are nice I get their crystallysed (Naked) ginger lollies - great for indigestion, but my packet lasts me a long time - also good, finely chopped up in things like a mixed fruit salad, it does 'keep' everything fresh for up to 2 days - the power of ginger is amazing.
I like to make a berry mix, including halved (and seeded) grapes and the Buderim (naked!) ginger lollies keep it marvellously fresh.
have a great day - so sorry about your continuing high Covid numbers
