Print Recipe

A simple, comforting tea made with fresh ginger, lemon, and raw honey that soothes sore throats and eases congestion. Perfect for cold relief and cozy moments.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 inches fresh ginger root, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 medium lemon, juiced (about 2 tablespoons or 30 ml)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons raw honey, to taste
  • 3 cups (720 ml) filtered water
  • Optional add-ins:
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated turmeric root
  • 1 small cinnamon stick
  • A pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel about 2 inches of fresh ginger root and slice it thinly.
  2. Bring 3 cups (720 ml) of filtered water to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the sliced ginger to the boiling water, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
  4. If using turmeric or cinnamon, add them in the last 5 minutes of simmering.
  5. Remove the pot from heat and strain the tea through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof container.
  6. Add the juice of one medium lemon to the strained tea and stir gently.
  7. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of raw honey while the tea is still warm (not boiling hot) and stir until dissolved.
  8. Pour into a mug and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Add honey only after the tea cools slightly to preserve its natural enzymes. Adjust honey and lemon to taste. If tea is too strong, add more hot water to mellow the flavor. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
