Notes
- You can store extra ginger tea in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Serve it cold or reheated.
- Use fresh ginger and lemon for the greatest health benefits and best flavor.
- Allow at least 5 minutes for the tea to steep. This will allow the flavor to develop. For a strong ginger tea, steep it for up to 10 minutes.
