Honey Lemon Ginger Tea
Description
Honey Lemon Ginger Tea features fresh lemons sliced thin with their skins intact, paired with grated or cubed fresh ginger and natural honey. The preparation involves carefully cleaning the lemons to remove wax, slicing thinly to infuse flavor, then layering with ginger and honey in a sealed jar. Refrigerated overnight, this process softens the lemon rind and allows the flavors to meld. When served, a spoonful of the mixture is stirred into boiling water, producing a warm beverage that carries citrus brightness, a spicy note from the ginger, and natural sweetness from the honey.
The method ensures that the lemon peel contributes a slight bitterness and depth, balancing the honey’s sweetness. Fresh ginger’s aromatic warmth enhances the drink’s comforting qualities. The tea can be enjoyed at any time of day as a gentle tonic or warming treat, suitable for preparing in advance and storing chilled.
Ingredients
- 1 cup honey
- 3 pieces lemon plural
- 3 tablespoon ginger fresh
Instructions
- Place the lemons in a colander, pour boiling water over them to remove wax. Then transfer to a bowl of cold or room temperature water and rinse while scrubbing the outer skin. Using a clean kitchen towel, dry the lemons.
- Cut the lemons into quarters, lengthwise. Remove the seeds. Now slice the lemon (with skin) as thin as possible. Set aside.
- Peel the ginger by using the edge of a spoon to scrape away the skin. Rinse and pat dry. Cut into very small cubes or use a coarse grater (grater with a bit bigger holes) to grate the ginger.
- Place a half of the lemon and ginger in the jar and pour half of the honey over them and stir to mix. Add the remaining lemon, ginger and honey and mix again.
- Seal the jar and let it sit in the fridge at least overnight for the flavors to infuse.
- Before using, give the jar a good shake or stir, as the honey may sit at the bottom of the jar. Add a spoonful of the mixture to a cup and add boiling water.
