Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 inches Fresh ginger
- 4 cups Water
- 2 large Lemon
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick (optional)
- 4 pieces Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
Peel the fresh ginger and slice it into thin pieces.
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced ginger. If desired, add a cinnamon stick for extra warmth and flavor.
Simmer the ginger for 10 minutes to infuse the water with its spicy essence.
While the ginger is simmering, cut the lemons in half and juice them. Set the lemon juice aside.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the liquid to remove the ginger slices (and cinnamon stick, if used).
Stir in the lemon juice and honey until well combined. Taste and adjust honey to your preferred sweetness.
Pour the Hot Ginger Lemonade into cups or mugs. Garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, soothing flavors.
