Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 1 inch Fresh ginger root
- 1 piece Lemon
- 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the fresh ginger root into small pieces.
In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
Add the sliced ginger to the boiling water, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 7-10 minutes to infuse the flavor.
While the ginger simmers, cut the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice from one half into a cup and slice the other half into thin rounds for garnish.
Once the ginger tea has simmered, remove the pot from heat and carefully strain the liquid into two teacups to remove the ginger pieces.
Stir in the lemon juice and a dash of cayenne pepper into each cup. Adjust the cayenne based on your spice tolerance.
If desired, add 1 tablespoon of honey to each cup for sweetness and stir well.
Garnish with a slice of lemon in each cup. Serve warm and enjoy!
