Ingredients
- 2-inch chunk of fresh ginger
- 2 cups of water
- 1 lemon (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the unpeeled ginger and chop into ½ inch chunks. With the side of your knife, crush the ginger chunks.
- Place the water in a medium saucepan with a lid. Add the ginger and bring to a boil.
- Lower the heat to a simmer, cover with the lid, and simmer for 5 minutes. The longer it simmers, the stronger the ginger flavor.
- Turn off the heat and squeeze half a lemon (if using). Serve by straining the tea into a mug.
- Enjoy hot or cold.

Notes
- If you want to enjoy the rest of the tea later, remove the chunks of ginger from the pot. The ginger flavor would be too much if left in the pot.

- Use the freshest ginger: We recommend using organic ginger, when possible, making sure it’s super fresh for the very best flavor.
- Lightly crush the ginger: This helps to extract the most flavor.
- For milder/stronger flavor: How much ginger you use and the steeping time has the most effect on the fresh ginger tea flavor intensity.
- Don’t boil the tea: We bring it to a boil then immediately reduce it to a simmer. Boiling it too long makes the tea bitter.
