Ginger Lemon Tea with Raw Honey
This tea is easy, delicious and great for your gut and immune system. It's so much better than a store bought tea bag!
What you need
1” - 2” Ginger Knob, peeled and chopped very small
Juice of 1 Lemon
Water that is just below boiling
Raw Honey
What to do
Add the peeled, diced ginger and the lemon juice to a tea pot. Add hot water. Let that concoction steep for at least 5 minutes - the longer, the stronger the ginger taste. Once your tea cools to around 95-100 degrees, so that you don’t lose any of the amazing properties of that Raw Honey, add a big scoop of it and stir to dissolve. Use a fine mesh strainer, if your tea pot doesn’t have one in it, to pour into cups and enjoy!
Tips: It may be common knowledge that scraping the ginger peel off with a spoon, instead of a knife or vegetable peeler, is a peeling game changer - super easy and quick, but it was new news to me recently. Where have I been? Also, if your ginger is really juicy, simply chop it up unpeeled and throw it all in the tea pot. Just make sure you’re using organic ginger if you’re going to include the peel. You can also make a second pot of tea using the same ginger. You’ll just need to let it steep longer the second time for it to have a strong ginger taste.
