Homemade Fresh Ginger Tea Recipe
This Homemade Fresh Ginger Tea is a delicious tea made with fresh ginger, lemon juice, honey, cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Comforting and so tasty.
Servings 2 large mugs of tea
Ingredients
- 1 large fresh ginger root peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch ginger slices
- 5 cups water
- juice from 1 fresh lemon divided into 2 portions
- 2 tsp honey
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- cayenne pepper powder
Instructions
Making the ginger tea:
- Peel the ginger root and cut it into 1/2 inch chunks.
- In a small saucepan add the sliced ginger and 5 cups of water.
- Simmer gently on low for a minimum of 20 minutes, but the longer the better. We like to let ours simmer for 30-45 minutes. You may need to add a bit more water if it gets too low.
- Divide the tea between 2 large mugs, or 4 smaller mugs, straining out 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:
To each mug add:
- juice from 1/2 fresh lemon
- 1/2 tsp honey (or a good drizzle of honey)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- generous dash of cayenne pepper
