Notes

  • For a stronger and more flavorful tea, you can increase the amount of ginger and lemon peel and/or let the ingredients simmer for a longer time.
  • Stir honey in only after the tea has been removed from the heat.
  • Use your favorite sweetener. If you don’t have honey on hand, try a drizzle of maple syrup, or agave syrup. Of course, you can always use a bit of sugar if desired.
  • If you prefer a less spicy taste to your tea, decrease the amount of ginger and cinnamon used. 
  • Experiment with different types of lemons to alter the flavor profile of your Cinnamon Lemon Ginger Tea. Each variety offers a unique taste, from the tart Eureka to the sweeter Meyer lemon.
  • If you want to add a hint of spicy warmth, consider adding a dash of cayenne pepper. (A very small amount goes a LONG way!)
  • To release the flavors even more, consider crushing the ginger and lemon peel slightly before adding them to the boiling water.
  • You can store any leftover tea in an airtight container in the refrigerator to enjoy it cold. Alternatively, reheat it for a warm treat.
  • For a refreshing summer twist, serve your Cinnamon Lemon Ginger Tea over ice, garnished with fresh mint leaves.
  • If you find the flavor of cinnamon overpowering, you can reduce the amount. Adding more lemon or ginger can also help balance the flavors.
  • Mix it up with some orange slices or lime slices.
