The Ginger, Lemon, and Honey Herbal Tea is a delicious and healthy beverage that can be easily and quickly prepared at home, combining spicy notes (ginger) with fresh and citrusy ones (lemon).
The undisputed star of this tea is ginger, with its aromatic and slightly spicy flavor. Its intensity can vary depending on the amount of ginger used and the infusion time.
The longer the ginger stays in infusion, the more intense and spicy its flavor will be. We like it spicier, but if this is your first time making it, start gradually.
Ginger and lemon tea is a pleasure to enjoy at any time of the day. Warm and comforting in winter, fresh and refreshing in summer, this beverage is always a great choice for pampering yourself and taking care of yourself.

Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- fresh ginger (2-3 slices to taste)
- 1 slice lemon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
Tools
- 1 Kettle
- 1 Citrus Juicer
- 1 Cup
Steps
First, bring the water to a boil in a saucepan or using an electric kettle. Meanwhile, slice the fresh ginger and squeeze the juice of half a lemon (you will need 1 teaspoon, to your taste). If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can grate the ginger instead of slicing it.
As soon as the water boils, turn off the heat and add the slices of ginger and the thin slice of lemon. Let it steep for about 5-10 minutes, depending on the intensity of flavor you desire.
After the infusion time, pour the tea into the cup, add the lemon juice and honey. Stir well to dissolve the honey. Your ginger, lemon, and honey herbal tea is ready to enjoy!
Until the next recipe.
