Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger root peeled and thinly sliced
  • optional: lemon sliced and honey

Instructions

  • Make the ginger tea. Add the water and ginger to a small sauce pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes. Note: the longer you simmer the tea, the stronger the ginger flavor. If you'd like it sweeter, add a teaspoon or two of honey at the end.

Notes

  • If you don't have fresh ginger you can swap in ½ teaspoon dried ginger. It won't have the same spiciness, aroma, and potency, but it works in a pinch.
