Home Made Ginger Tea

5 from 29 reviews

This Home Made Ginger Tea is a delicious (and healthy) tea made with fresh ginger, lemon juice, honey, cinnamon and cayenne pepper.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large fresh ginger root (peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks (enough to have 8 to 10, 1-inch chunks for each root))
  • 5 cups water
  • juice from 1 fresh lemon
  • honey
  • cinnamon
  • cayenne pepper (powder)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, simmer the ginger chunks in 5 cups of water, for a minimum of 20 minutes, but the longer the better. We like to let ours simmer for 30-45 minutes.
  2. Divide the tea between 2 large mugs, or 4 smaller mugs, making sure not to serve the chunks of ginger!

Now it’s time to dress the tea. This part is very individual-taste dependent! We like our tea very strong, so here’s what we add to our tea! For each mug add:

  1. juice from 1/2 lemon
  2. 1/2 tsp honey
  3. 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  4. generous dash of cayenne pepper
