Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger root
- 1 medium Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Raw honey
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 3 whole Cloves
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
Peel and slice the fresh ginger root into thin slices.
Slice the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice from one half into a small bowl and set aside. Slice the other half into thin rounds.
In a small saucepan, add the water, sliced ginger, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes to extract the flavors of the spices.
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the liquid into a heat-resistant mug to remove the ginger, cinnamon stick, and cloves.
Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and raw honey until well combined.
Add a slice of lemon to each serving for garnish if desired.
Sip the warm remedy slowly and enjoy its soothing effects. Repeat up to two times a day as needed.
