How to Make a Good Cup of Ginger Tea

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1-inch piece)
• 1 to 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon honey (optional, adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for added flavor)
• A pinch of cinnamon or turmeric (optional, for extra warmth and health benefits)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ginger:
   • Peel the ginger using a spoon or knife, and thinly slice or grate it.
2. Boil the Water:
   • Bring 1 to 2 cups of water to a boil in a small pot or kettle.
3. Steep the Ginger:
   • Once the water reaches a boil, add the sliced ginger. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the ginger steep for about 5-10 minutes, depending on how strong you want the flavor.
4. Strain and Sweeten:
   • Remove from heat and strain the ginger tea into a mug.
   • Add honey and lemon juice if desired, adjusting the amounts to taste. Stir well to combine.
5. Optional Add-ins:
   • Add a pinch of cinnamon or turmeric for extra warmth and health benefits.
6. Serve:
   • Enjoy your warm, soothing cup of ginger tea!

Tips:

• You can adjust the amount of ginger for a more or less intense flavor.
• For a stronger tea, allow the ginger to steep for longer.
• You can store extra ginger tea in the fridge for up to a day and reheat when needed.
