Equipment

  • Kettle
  • Vegetable peeler
  • Tea Pot (optional)
  • Mug

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Filtered Water
  • 1 ¼ Organic Lemon (or 1 - 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice)
  • 1 inch Ginger Root (about 2 teaspoons, chopped)

Instructions
 

  • First, bring filtered water to a boil. You can either use a kettle or a pot and a stovetop.
  • While the water is coming to boil, cut the lemon into wedges or slices. Peel the ginger and slice it into small chunks.
  • Squeeze some lemon juice into your mug or teapot and the chopped ginger and lemon rind or slices.
    Then, pour the boiled water over and allow it to infuse for 3 to 5 minutes.
    If you are putting the lemon and ginger directly into your mug, there’s no need to strain it. You can start sipping as soon as it’s cool enough.

Notes

Don’t have ginger root? You can use 1 teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
Add raw honey to make a throat-soothing tea and add more immune-supporting nutrients. I usually use about ½ teaspoon but you can add up to 1 teaspoon if you like it sweeter.
Add cinnamon for some natural sweetness and extra warmth. You can sprinkle some ground cinnamon in your mug or stir your fresh tea with a cinnamon stick.
