Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Black currant tea leaves
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 1 inch Fresh ginger
- 2 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 1 piece Lemon wedge (optional)
Instructions
1. Start by peeling the fresh ginger and slicing it thinly to help release its flavor.
2. In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of water, the cinnamon stick, and the sliced ginger.
3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the water to a gentle boil.
4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the cinnamon and ginger to infuse the water.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the black currant tea leaves to the hot water and cover the saucepan with a lid.
6. Let the tea steep for 4-5 minutes. Adjust steeping time based on your flavor preference—longer for a stronger taste.
7. Strain the tea into serving cups using a fine mesh strainer to remove the tea leaves, cinnamon stick, and ginger slices.
8. Stir in honey if you'd like a touch of sweetness, and optionally add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a zesty twist.
9. Serve the tea hot and enjoy its aromatic and comforting flavors.
