Ingredients:
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 a lemon)
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1/2 inch ginger root, sliced or grated (optional for added warmth and immune support)
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder (optional for anti-inflammatory benefits)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder (optional for extra flavor and immune support)
- Lemon slices for garnish
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Boil Water:
- In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
- Prepare Ingredients:
- While the water is heating, prepare your ingredients. Squeeze the lemon to extract the juice, slice or grate the ginger, and gather your optional ingredients like honey, turmeric, and cinnamon.
- Steep the Ginger (Optional):
- If using ginger, add it to the boiling water and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes. This will infuse the water with a gentle ginger flavor.
- Add Lemon Juice and Optional Ingredients:
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Add the fresh lemon juice to the hot water. If you want additional health benefits and flavor, stir in honey, turmeric, and cinnamon.
- Stir and Strain:
- Stir the mixture well. If you added ginger slices or grated ginger, you can strain the tea into a cup to remove the pieces, or leave them in for a stronger flavor.
- Serve:
- Pour the lemon tea into a cup. Garnish with a slice of lemon and fresh mint leaves if desired.
- Enjoy:
- Sip and enjoy your refreshing, immunity-boosting lemon tea! This tea is rich in Vitamin C from the lemon, which helps support your immune system. The honey, ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon add extra benefits and flavor, making this a perfect home remedy for a refreshing and healthful boost.
Notes:
- Adjust the amount of lemon juice and honey to your taste preference.
- You can add a pinch of black pepper along with turmeric to enhance its absorption and effectiveness.
- For a cold version, let the tea cool and serve it over ice.
This Lemon Tea is not only refreshing but also packed with ingredients that support immune health and overall well-being.
