Homemade Fresh Ginger Tea Recipe

• servings: 2 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 35 minutes

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

Directions

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.

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
