Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger root
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 stick cinnamon stick (optional)

Instructions
Peel and finely slice the fresh ginger root, or alternatively, grate it for a stronger flavor.
In a small saucepan, combine the water and ginger slices. Add the cinnamon stick if you are using it.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 8-10 minutes to extract the flavors.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the liquid into two mugs, discarding the ginger and cinnamon stick.
Stir in the honey and lemon juice until well combined.
Taste and adjust sweetness or tanginess by adding more honey or lemon juice, if preferred.
Garnish with a thin slice of lemon (optional) and serve hot. Enjoy the soothing and refreshing Little Ginger!
