Ingredients

  • 6 cups water
  • 4 oz fresh ginger, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces (about 5 inch piece)
  • 1/4 cup honey (or sugar)

Instructions

  • Combine the water, ginger, and honey in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir to dissolve the honey.
  • Lower heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Strain and transfer the tea into a teapot or your preferred container. Enjoy immediately, with a slice of lemon and additional honey to taste. 
  • Chill any remaining ginger tea and store in the refrigerator -- you can drink it chilled or reheat before serving.
