15 min · Serves 2
Ingredients
- 4 cm fresh ginger root, thinly sliced
- 2 cups water
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp İlyas Kurt pine honey
- Optional: 1 cinnamon stick
Preparation
- 01Combine the ginger slices (and cinnamon stick, if using) with the water in a small saucepan.
- 02Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for another 10 minutes.
- 03Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes — honey loses some of its beneficial enzymes when added to boiling water.
- 04Strain into cups and stir in the lemon juice.
- 05Add honey only once the tea has cooled slightly, about 1 tbsp per cup, to taste.
