Instructions

Cut the ginger into disks.

Bring the water and ginger to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and let steep for 5-10 minutes. Alternatively, you could divide ginger coins between 2 mugs and pour hot water into the mugs. Wait a minute or two until ginger softens and bruise with a spoon.

You can either remove ginger chunks from the mugs or leave it in. I leave it in, but it's a personal preference.

Add the lemon juice and honey between the mugs and stir to dissolve honey.

Serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Ginger Preparation Method 🔪
Slice ginger with the skin on rather than peeling it—the skin contains concentrated oils and nutrients that infuse more flavor into your tea while adding beneficial compounds.
Temperature Matters for Honey 🌡️
Always add honey after the tea has cooled slightly below boiling (around 140°F) to preserve its enzymatic properties and prevent destroying its delicate flavors and health benefits.
Lemon Juice Timing 🍋
Add fresh lemon juice just before serving rather than during brewing to maintain its bright acidity and vitamin C content, which can diminish with prolonged heat exposure.
Extended Steeping Technique ⏱️
Let the ginger slices steep for 10-15 minutes instead of just 5 to fully extract the pungent compounds and create a more robust, medicinal flavor profile.
Honey Selection Impact 🍯
Choose raw, unfiltered honey over processed varieties—it contains beneficial bacteria and enzymes that enhance the tea's soothing and immune-boosting properties.
