Ingredients
2 cups water
1-inch piece of fresh ginger, sliced thinly
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon raw honey
Optional: A thin slice of lemon for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the ginger by slicing it into thin rounds to maximize surface area for infusion.
Pour water into a small saucepan, add the ginger slices, and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes until the water turns a golden hue.
Measure out the lemon juice and honey into your favorite mug.
Strain the ginger pieces out and pour the hot tea into the mug.
Stir in the lemon and honey until fully dissolved and serve piping hot.
Notes
Store leftover tea in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat on the stove. For a stronger ginger kick, bruise the ginger slices with a knife before boiling. You can customize sweetness by adjusting the honey. Add fresh mint for a twist or a pinch of turmeric for extra anti-inflammatory benefits.
