Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 inch fresh ginger (sliced)
- 1 lemon (optional)
Instructions
- Add the water into a small pot on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the sliced ginger into the pot.
- Bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat and allow the water to simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes (the longer the water simmers, the stronger the tea will be).
- Once the tea has simmered, pour it through a sieve and remove the ginger slices.
- Pour into two separate glasses and garnish with lemon slices if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- You do not have to peel the ginger if you don’t want to. In that case, rinse and scrub the outside of the ginger. It can then be boiled.
- You can peel the ginger if you’d like.
- If you have small pieces of the ginger peel you want to strain out of the tea, you can also pour the tea through a cheesecloth.
