Tips:
- Adjust Sweetness: If you like it sweeter, you can add a teaspoon of honey or a natural sweetener of your choice.
- Ginger Level: Feel free to adjust the amount of ginger based on your preference; more ginger will enhance the drink’s metabolism-boosting properties.
- Additions: You can also incorporate a pinch of cayenne pepper or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor and health benefits.
