How to Make Ginger Tea with Honey and Lemon
Ginger tea is a caffeine-free herbal tea that not only tastes warm and comforting but also can provide an abundance of health benefits. Made with fresh ginger root, it couldn’t be more simple to make. Here you will learn how to make ginger tea with lemon and honey for a delicious drink!
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!
