This Homemade Fresh Ginger Tea is a delicious tea made with fresh ginger, lemon juice, honey, cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Comforting and so tasty.

Ingredients

  • 1 largefresh ginger root, peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch ginger slices
  • 5 cupswater
  • juice from 1 fresh lemon (divided into 2 portions)
  • 2 tsphoney
  • ½ tspground cinnamon
  • cayenne pepper powder

Directions

Making the ginger tea:

  1. 1

    Peel the ginger root and cut it into 1/2 inch chunks.

  2. 2

    In a small saucepan add the sliced ginger and 5 cups of water.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Divide the tea between 2 large mugs, or 4 smaller mugs, straining out the chunks of ginger.

Now it's time to dress the tea. this part is very individual-taste dependent! we like our tea very strong, so here's what we add to our tea! for each mug add:

  1. 1

    To each mug add: juice from 1/2 fresh lemon

  2. 2

    1/2 tsp honey (or a good drizzle of honey)

  3. 3

    1/4 tsp cinnamon

  4. 4

    generous dash of cayenne pepper
