Ingredients
For the Tea Base:
4 cups water
4 green tea bags (or 4 teaspoons loose green tea)
1 medium piece of ginger (about 2 inches), thinly sliced
2 tablespoons honey (adjust to taste)
Juice of 2 lemons (approximately 1/3 cup)
For Serving:
Ice cubes
Lemon slices, for garnish
Fresh mint leaves, optional
Step 1: Prepare the Ginger Infusion
Pour the water into a medium-sized saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add the sliced ginger to the water and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes. This allows the ginger to release its warm, spicy flavor into the water.
Remove the saucepan from heat.
Pro Tip: For a stronger ginger flavor, let the ginger steep in the water for an additional 5 minutes after turning off the heat.
Step 2: Brew the Green Tea
While the ginger is steeping, add the green tea bags to the hot water. Cover the pot to retain the heat and steep for 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to over-steep, as green tea can become bitter.
Remove the tea bags and ginger slices using a slotted spoon or a strainer.
Step 3: Sweeten with Honey
While the tea is still warm, stir in the honey until it dissolves completely. Honey not only adds a natural sweetness but also enhances the soothing properties of this drink.
Allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
Pro Tip: If you prefer a vegan option, substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup.
