Ingredients
- 4 cups filtered water
- 4 inch ginger
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 to 2 tablespoon organic honey
- 1 cinnamon stick
To garnish
- lemon slices
- fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Bring 4 cups of water to boil.
- While water is boiling, you can clean ginger root. Scrub and wash ginger. Do not bother peeling the skin if you are going to strain it out like me. If you are planning to drink it as it is, peel the skin on ginger root.
- Slice ginger into thin slices. Or you can grate it as well.
- Once water starts boiling, turn off the heat. Add ginger, lemon slices (if using lemon to steep in the tea).
- Cover and let it steep for 30 minutes.
- Strain and drink it at room temperature as it is. Or warm it up and serve.
- I prefer to add lemon juice to steeped tea as per my taste preference. Add raw honey for sweetened tea – that’s my preference.
- So to serve like the way I did – steeped and strained tea in tea kettle.
- Into individual serving cup, squeeze lemon juice. Pour hot ginger lemon tea. Add raw honey to your taste preference.
- Stir it with cinnamon stick. Garnish with a lemon slice and mint leaves. Serve.
Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.
- Adding grated ginger to steep tea gives strong ginger flavor to the tea. If you don't like the strong flavor of ginger, you can roughly chop ginger and add to boiling water so the flavor is mild.
- Lemon ginger tea is best when you drink it hot. You can drink the tea at room temperature but it won't taste the same. To warm tea reheat the steeped tea slightly on low heat. DO NOT re boil the tea, it will turn bitter.
- If you prefer green tea base use green tea bags (or tea leaves) and steep along in ginger and lemon slices.
- Though left over tea can be stored for 4-6 days in refrigerator, I highly recommend you make a fresh batch each time. Reheat on low heat (NOT BOIL) when you want to serve.
