Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger root
- 2 cups Water
- 1 medium Lemon
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
Peel the 1-inch piece of ginger root using a spoon or a peeler. Slice it thinly to maximize the ginger flavor extraction.
In a small pot or saucepan, pour 2 cups of water and add the sliced ginger. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes. This will allow the ginger to infuse the water.
While the ginger is simmering, cut the lemon in half. Juice one half of the lemon, ensuring that seeds are removed. Slice the other half into thin rounds for garnish.
After the ginger has simmered, remove the pot from heat and add the lemon juice to the mixture.
Strain the ginger tea into mugs to remove the ginger pieces, using a fine mesh strainer.
Add 1 tablespoon of honey to the tea in each mug, stirring well to dissolve. Adjust the amount of honey to suit your taste.
Optionally, add 2 mint leaves to each mug for a refreshing hint of mint.
Garnish the tea with a lemon slice from the remaining lemon half, and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade lemon ginger tea!
