How to Make Lemon Ginger Tea

I am a chef on a luxury world cruise liner. I love to cook and write recipes that are inspired by foods from all over the world.

Lemon is one of the citrus fruits that contain lots of Vitamin C. As a result, many health conditions are improved by oral intake of this fruit. Ginger is one of the most commonly used spices for food and drink preparation. It is considered a powerful spice because of its medicinal properties. Let me share with you my simple recipe for lemon ginger tea that you can make any time at home.

Ingredients

• 1.5 litres water
• 2 inches ginger, sliced
• 1 piece lemon, juiced

Utensils

• Pitcher
• 1 small bowl
• Strainer
• Knife
• Chopping board

Cook Time

Instructions

1. Fill pitcher with water.
2. Juice 1 piece of lemon. Add it into the pitcher. Set aside.
3. Peel and sliced ginger. Add it into the pitcher.
4. Keep the drink mixture overnight or for a couple of hours inside the refrigerator before serving.

Tips and Techniques

• Keep mixture inside the refrigerator overnight before serving to let the water absorb more flavors from the ingredients.

Hello Pamela,

Thank you! I've been drinking this as a replacement of my regular water for about a year now. I can really feel the benefits of it.

Hello Miebakagh,

This is my usual drinking water. I seldom drink a plain one. It's really effective on my part.

Hi Lisa,

Yes, you can do it as a hot tea. All you need is to boil first the ginger then add the lemon after.
