Ginger And Lemon Tea Recipe

I find making Homemade Ginger Lemon Honey Tea a delightful way to support my natural immunity. I combine fresh ginger slices, lemon juice, and honey in two cups of water, creating a refreshing and tangy drink. Its unique blend intrigues me on days when I seek a little natural boost.

I’ve been experimenting a lot with natural remedies lately and this Ginger And Lemon Tea recipe is one of my favorites. When I first came across a Honey Lemon Ginger Tea Recipe that used just a few simple ingredients, I knew I had to give it a try.

I start by boiling 2 cups water and adding a 2-inch piece of fresh ginger sliced thinly. The aroma of fresh ginger infusing in the water reminds me of that Lemon Ginger Tumeric Tea I once tasted at a local market.

Once I strain the ginger out, I mix in the juice of one fresh lemon — sometimes I even add a little zest for an extra kick. And of course, I finish it off with 2 tablespoons of honey, though I do adjust it if I want it sweeter.

This Homemade Ginger Lemon Honey Tea is perfect when you need a refreshing drink to support your immune system. Enjoy the process making it as much as drinking it.

FAQ

Ginger And Lemon Tea Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you dont have plain water, try using a light herbal tea like chamomile to mix things up
• If fresh ginger is hard to find, you can use about 1⁄4 teaspoon of dried ginger powder instead
• Don’t have a lemon? Lime juice or even a splash of orange juice will add a similar tang
• If you’re out of honey, agave nectar or maple syrup can be used to sweeten your tea

Pro Tips

1. Try slicing the fresh ginger super thin so it infuses the water better and gives a really strong flavor without being too overpowering
2. For the best benefits of the honey, mix it in once the tea’s off the heat so you don’t destroy any of its nutrients by the high temperatures
3. Don’t just stick to lemon juice—grate in a bit of zest too for that extra punch, it makes a noticeable difference
4. Let the tea sit for a minute or two after steeping before adding your lemon and honey, this helps blend the flavors in a more balanced way
