Ingredients:
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
- 4-5 whole cloves
- 2 cups water
- 1-2 teaspoons honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for added freshness)
Instructions:
- Boil the water: In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
- Add ginger and cloves: Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the ginger slices and whole cloves to the pot.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes. This allows the ginger and cloves to release their beneficial compounds into the water.
- Strain and serve: After simmering, strain the tea into a cup, discarding the ginger and cloves.
- Sweeten and enhance: Stir in honey if you’d like some sweetness and add lemon juice for a fresh, tangy twist.
- Enjoy: Sip slowly and enjoy the warming and invigorating effects.
