Ginger Tea
Description
Ginger Tea uses thinly sliced fresh ginger simmered in water to extract its characteristic zesty and warming flavors. The preparation involves boiling the ginger slices then reducing to a simmer for several minutes, allowing the essence of the ginger root to infuse the water. Straining removes the ginger pieces for a smooth beverage.
Serving suggestions include adding a squeeze of fresh lemon to introduce a subtle citrus note and honey for gentle sweetness. The tea can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week and enjoyed either chilled or reheated.
This recipe yields a single serving but can be scaled up by multiplying the ingredients to make larger batches. It offers a natural, caffeine-free drink suited to relaxation or mild throat relief.
Ingredients
- 1 inch ginger fresh
- 8 to 12 ounces water
- lemon , to taste
- honey , to taste
Instructions
- Slice the ginger into thin pieces, no more than 1/4-inch thick. There's no need to peel it, but you should wash off any visible dirt from the skin.
- Place the sliced ginger in a small sauce pan, and cover with 8 to 12 ounces of water. If you want to make more than one serving, you can double or triple this recipe, as needed.
- Bring the water to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Let the mixture simmer for at least 5 minutes (or up to 10 minutes), and then remove from the heat.
- Pour the liquid through a fine mesh strainer to catch the large ginger pieces, then serve warm with a squeeze of fresh lemon and honey, to taste.
- You can store extra ginger tea in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Serve it cold or reheated.
Notes
- Nutrition estimates exclude honey and lemon since these are added to taste.
