Ingredients

Tea Base

4 cups Water
2 inch Fresh Ginger Root Peeled and thinly sliced or grated
2 Cinnamon Sticks Or 1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice Optional, for serving
1 teaspoon Raw Honey or Maple Syrup To taste, optional

Method

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the water, sliced/grated ginger root, and cinnamon sticks.
Bring the water mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and allow the tea to simmer gently for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to fully infuse.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into mugs, discarding the solids (ginger and cinnamon sticks).
If desired, stir in fresh lemon juice and sweeten with honey or maple syrup to taste.
Serve immediately while hot, enjoying the warming benefits.

Notes

For a stronger ginger flavor, simmer for 20 minutes. If using ground cinnamon instead of sticks, add it during the simmering stage and strain very carefully to remove all sediment, or leave for a cloudier texture. This tea is excellent cold-brewed as well.
