Ginger has so many great qualities. It can help with nausea, and is great for digestion. It is thought to have anti-inflammatory properties. It can help with symptoms of cold or flu, or headaches. These are just a few of the many benefits of ginger.
Fresh ginger tea is very easy to make. All you need is:
~ fresh ginger root
~ lemon
~ anything else you would like to add (such as honey from Bee Baltic, sugar, etc).
For one mug, you probably want to use about a tablespoon of ginger, but you can adjust the recipe and also make one large batch at a time.
Peel, then slice or grate your ginger. Using slices (instead of grated ginger) it may require you to steep it a bit longer.
Boil or allow to steep. Much like infused water, you can let this sit for some time, but boiling the ginger will be quicker and give you a stronger flavor.
You can strain out the ginger, although I eat the pieces in the bottom of my cup.
Add lemon and honey, or any other ingredients as desired. I like to use local honey, which has good health benefits.
If I let the ingredients infuse for a while, I simply add a slice of lemon, but you can also add lemon juice if you are doing a quick steep.
I drink a lot of this during the cold and flu season, after dinner, or simply if we have fresh ginger left over from a recipe.
Enjoy!
I am a fan of ginger lemon tea especially if I do it at home (not the store bought). Whether for digestion, congestion, cough or just feel like drinking, it is one of my favorites.
I keep forgetting to buy ginger root! I have been wanting to make this and my own ginger ale with it! So refreshing and good for you!
I drink tea daily – I love it super hot. I never considered using raw ingredient to create my own brew. This is such a great idea. I wonder how strong it would taste. I wonder how long I should allow the boiling to go.
This is so good for you! YUM!
Yum! I love both of these ingredients and it’s so good for you too!
we use ginger in our black tea /cup of chai regularly and it is wonderful
