Lemon Honey Ginger Tea
This lemon honey ginger tea is made with a refrigerated concentrate of fresh ginger, peeled lemon, garlic, and honey. Prepare the mixture ahead, let it infuse for 24 hours, then add hot water to make a cup.
Ingredients
- 1 lemon
- 200 g fresh ginger
- 5-6 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 300 g honey
- Water for making each cup of tea
Instructions
- Peel 1 lemon, removing most of the white pith. Cut it into thin slices, remove any seeds, and place the slices on a plate.
- Peel 200 g fresh ginger and grate it over the lemon slices. Peel 5-6 garlic cloves and use a garlic press to crush them over the ginger and lemon.
- Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 300 g honey. Stir until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a clean jar, seal, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before using.
- Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons of the concentrate to a teacup, pour in enough hot water to make your cup of tea, and stir well.
Notes
Lemon preparation: Remove the peel and most of the white pith before slicing; the peeled slices go into the concentrate along with the lemon juice.
Serving strength: Start with the suggested amount of concentrate, then adjust the dilution to suit your taste.
Refrigeration: Keep the concentrate covered in the refrigerator and use a clean spoon each time.
