Ingredients
1-inch chunk of fresh ginger (no need to peel), sliced thinly
1 cup water
Optional: 1 cinnamon stick, 1-inch piece fresh turmeric (sliced), or several sprigs of fresh mint
Optional for serving: lemon or orange slice, 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine sliced ginger and water. Add optional cinnamon, turmeric, or mint if using.
- Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on desired strength.
- Remove from heat and strain the tea into a mug.
- Serve hot, optionally adding a slice of lemon or orange and sweeten with honey or maple syrup to taste.
Notes
- Make it vegan by using maple syrup instead of honey.
- To prepare ahead, multiply ingredients and refrigerate leftover tea for up to 4 days. Reheat or serve chilled.
- Freeze sliced ginger for easy use in future tea batches.
