Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tablespoon Ginger Root roughly chopped
  • 1 Cup Water
  • Honey to taste
  • 2 Lemon Slices

Instructions
 

  • Prepare fresh ginger by washing your root in water and gently peeling off the skin. This might be easier using a paring knife rather than a traditional vegetable peeler. After the root has been peeled slice it into chunks, place it into a small pot on the stovetop, and add water.
  • Simmer the ginger root for at least 10 minutes although you can steep it longer for a spicer drink.
  • Next strain out the ginger pulp and pour tea into your serving mug. Add honey to taste and top with a slice of lemon.
  • Enjoy

Notes

  • For a fun and sweet variety use an orange slice instead of a lemon.
  • Ginger pairs well with herbs and spices. Consider adding turmeric, or mint for more flavor.
  • If you prefer an iced tea, you can make this recipe iced by allowing your tea to cool completely and pour over ice to enjoy!
