This honey ginger tea with lemon is a tangy infusion inspired by a combination of Indian, Egyptian, and Costa Rican wisdom for soothing the common cold. Make a pot in the morning when you are not feeling well and drink throughout the day, reheating by the mugful as needed. My husband and I keep these ingredients on hand throughout the winter just because we like them. For children, add a splash of orange juice to cool it down.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup honey, or to taste
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger root
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 ½ cups boiling water
Directions
Step 1
Place honey, lemon juice, ginger, and cinnamon in a teapot or 4-cup glass measuring beaker with spout. Pour boiling water over mixture; stir until honey is dissolved.
Step 2
Cover the teapot and let steep for 5 minutes. The ginger should sink to the bottom but may be strained while pouring into a mug.
Tips
Peel the ginger root before grating, as it can sometimes be bitter.
