Ingredients :

Fresh ginger root is the star of this tea and gives it that warm, slightly spicy flavor that feels comforting and soothing. Use fresh, firm ginger for the best taste and aroma.

Water is the base of the tea and allows the ginger to gently infuse its flavor. Fresh, filtered water keeps the tea clean and light.

Honey or maple syrup adds natural sweetness and balances the spice of the ginger. You can adjust the amount or skip it completely if you prefer your tea unsweetened.

Fresh lemon juice brings brightness and a refreshing citrus note that pairs perfectly with ginger. Lemon also helps wake up all the flavors.

How to Make Ginger Tea In 5 minutes :

Step 1

The first thing you’ll do rinsing the fresh ginger under cool water. You do not need to peel it unless the skin looks very dry. Slice the ginger into thin pieces because thinner slices release flavor faster. If you want a stronger tea you can gently crush the slices with the side of a knife before adding them to the pot.

Step 2

While that happens pour the water into a small saucepan and add the ginger slices. Place the saucepan on the stove and turn the heat to high. As soon as the water starts to boil lower the heat and let it simmer. This is where the magic happens. The water will slowly turn golden and the kitchen will start to smell warm and spicy.
