Equipment
- 1 Tea pot or heatproof jar, pitcher, or even a small saucepan
Ingredients
- 1.5–1.6 inches (4 cm) fresh ginger root thinly sliced
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ½ tablespoon pure maple syrup or your favorite sweetener
- 2 cups boiling water
Instructions
- Rinse the fresh ginger root well and slice it thinly. Juice the lemon and set the juice aside for later.
- Place ginger slices into a heatproof pot or teapot. Pour in the boiling water, cover, and let steep for 10–15 minutes.
- Stir in ground cinnamon and maple syrup while the tea is still warm. Mix well.
- Let the tea cool just a bit before adding the fresh lemon juice to preserve its flavor and nutrients.
- Strain into mugs and enjoy warm. Adjust sweetness or lemon to taste.
Notes
- No need to peel or grate the ginger, just rinse and slice thinly for easy prep and bold flavor.
- Add lemon juice after the tea cools slightly to keep its nutrients and fresh taste.
- Stir in cinnamon at the end to avoid clumping and ensure a smooth, warming flavor.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently or enjoy iced.
