Warming Ginger Lemon Tea

GINGER LEMON TEA GOODNESS

  • 2 or 3 inches fresh ginger, grated or finely chopped
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 – 2 tsp turmeric (OR 2 inches fresh)
  • 1/4 tsp cloves (or 10 whole)
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne
  • 3 cups fresh water
  • juice of 1 whole lemon
  • 1 Tbsp raw honey

Add the ginger and spices to fresh water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 20 – 30 minutes until the water is a deep golden colour. The flavour will be deep and strong with warming goodness. This is enough for 2-3 servings. If it is too strong, add more hot water just before serving.

If you like, double the amount, let cool and pour into a jar, store in the fridge and use as a concentrate – adding hot water as you like for a quick drink. 

Ginger Tea with turmeric, cloves and cinnamon is so delicious and has tremendous immune-boosting properties.  Drink up!
