Ginger Tea

 

Prep

5 minutes

Cook

5 minutes (varies)

Total

10 minutes

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons of ginger root (fresh & raw about 2 inches in small slices); I prefer raw rather than

1.5 – 2 cups of water

Optional:

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (juice ½ lime)
  • 1 tablespoon of honey (or agave nectar, to taste); I usually leave this out because I like the sharp taste of ginger

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Prepare the ginger by peeling and slicing it into thin 3mm slices to maximize surface area. This brings out the ginger flavor.
  2. Prepare hot water:
    • Stovetop: boil 3 slices of ginger in water for at least 10 minutes. For a stronger and tangier tea, allow to boil for 20 minutes or more, and use more slices of ginger.
    • Water Boiler & Warmer (I make so much tea so I have this sitting on my kitchen counter)
    • Microwave: Place the ginger slices into a 16oz mug and microwave for 2 minutes
