Ingredients
- 1- inch chunk of fresh ginger root chopped (either peeled or left unpeeled)
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Combine the chopped ginger and water in a saucepan over high heat. If you’re adding a cinnamon stick, fresh turmeric, or fresh mint, add it now. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes. For stronger ginger flavor, simmer for up to 10 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Carefully pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a heat-safe mug.
Notes
Optional flavors to add while brewing: 1 cinnamon stick, 1-inch piece of fresh turmeric (chopped), or sprigs of fresh mint, dried fruit
Optional add-ins after the tea is brewed: 1 thin slice fresh lemon, lime, or orange. Sweeten to taste with honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, or sweetener of choice.
Recipe can be doubled or tripled as desired.
Store the premade tea in an airtight container or pitcher in the fridge for up to a week. You may see some sediment form, that’s just some of the ginger. It’s safe to drink, or you can strain it through a cheesecloth if you like.
Drink the premade tea cold, over ice, or reheat it in the microwave or on the stove.
You can also store any leftover ginger root by peeling and chopping it, then placing it in a storage bag in the freezer for longer storage.
