Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams fresh ginger root
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or honey for a healthier alternative)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Wash and peel the ginger root. Slice it into thin pieces to release its flavor more effectively during cooking.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced ginger and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, depending on how strong you want the ginger flavor to be.
Strain the tea into a teapot or serving jug, discarding the ginger slices.
Stir in the brown sugar or honey until dissolved. If desired, add a teaspoon of lemon juice for a citrusy twist.
Pour the ginger tea into individual cups and serve hot. Enjoy!
