How to make ginger tea?

Making ginger tea is simple and soothing. Here’s a basic recipe to follow:

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 2 cups water
  • Honey or lemon (optional, to taste)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ginger: Peel the ginger root and grate it to measure about one tablespoon. For a stronger tea, you can increase the amount of ginger.

  2. Boil Water: In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, add the grated ginger.

  3. Simmer: Reduce the heat and let the ginger simmer in the water for about 10-15 minutes. The longer you simmer, the stronger the tea.

  4. Strain: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Pour the tea through a fine mesh strainer into a cup or teapot, discarding the ginger pieces.

  5. Add Flavors: If you like, add honey and/or lemon juice to your tea according to your taste preferences. Honey will add sweetness, while lemon juice will add a refreshing citrus note.

  6. Serve: Enjoy your ginger tea while it’s warm.

Ginger tea is not only warming and comforting, but it’s also revered for its potential health benefits, including digestion aid, anti-inflammatory properties, and immune system support.
