Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- 1 tsp tea leaves (for each cup)
- 1 tsp ginger finely grated
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- tsp honey/sugar
Instructions
- To make lemon ginger tea, first, heat 3 cups of water in a saucepan.
- Add grated ginger to the water and bring it to a boil.
- As it starts to boil, add lemon juice and tea leaves and allow the mixture to sit for 15-20 minutes at low heat.
- You can add honey to it if you desire, but the mixture of ginger and lemon on its own is quite a flavorful and delicious combination. Enjoy the piping hot tea.
Notes
You can also add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg, in the end, to enhance the flavor, if you prefer.
You can also add a tinge of turmeric if you want, as it has anti-inflammatory properties.
You can add a dash of orange juice to the tea if the lemon flavor is too strong. This will give it a naturally sweet and tangy flavor.
While lemon ginger tea by itself has tremendous curative potential, you can add a tsp of whiskey, brandy, bourbon, scotch, or rum to it, right before hitting the bed, should you have a bad cold. The combination will work wonders.
