Simple recipe for ginger tea with lemon and honey

Ingredients:

• 2 cups hot water
• 1/2 lemon (sliced or juiced)
• Ginger root (about a 1-inch piece, sliced or grated)
• 1 teaspoon honey (adjust to taste)

Instructions:

1. Boil Water: Heat 2 cups of water until it reaches a boiling point.
2. Prepare Ginger: While the water is boiling, peel and slice or grate the ginger. You can adjust the amount of ginger based on your preference for the strength of the ginger flavor.
3. Infuse Ginger: Add the ginger to the boiling water and let it simmer for about 5-10 minutes. The longer it simmers, the stronger the ginger flavor will be.
4. Add Lemon: Squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the tea. You can also add lemon slices for extra flavor.
5. Sweeten with Honey: Stir in 1 teaspoon of honey into the tea. Adjust the amount to your liking. Honey not only adds sweetness but also soothes the throat.
6. Strain (Optional): If you prefer a smoother tea without ginger particles, you can strain the tea before serving.
7. Serve: Pour the ginger tea into cups and enjoy it while it’s hot.

Feel free to adjust the quantities of ginger, lemon, and honey to suit your taste preferences. Some people also like to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat. Enjoy your ginger tea!
