A simple recipe for making soothing hot tea using fresh ginger, lemon, and honey.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced or grated
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Place the sliced or grated ginger in a small saucepan with the water.
  2. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Longer simmering results in a stronger ginger flavor.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  5. Strain the liquid into a mug, discarding the ginger pieces.
  6. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and honey until dissolved.
  7. Taste and add more honey if you prefer it sweeter.

Notes

  • For a stronger immune boost, add a small pinch of turmeric powder during simmering.
  • If you want to make a larger batch, simmer the ginger in a larger volume of water, then store the concentrated liquid in the refrigerator for up to one week. Dilute with hot water when serving.
  • Use fresh ginger for the best flavor and potency. Dried ginger powder will require less simmering time but offers a different taste profile.
