Serves 1

• Fresh ginger root (about 2”)

• Hot water

• Lemon slices (optional)

• Honey (optional)

Pour the water into a saucepan and heat it on the stove. 

Grate the ginger root into the saucepan. Let it come to a boil, and then simmer for 3-5 minutes.

Strain the tea into a cup with a fine mesh strainer and add lemon and/or honey as desired.

Tip:  If you don't want to use a grater and strainer then you can peel the ginger and thinly slice it into your cup before adding boiling water. The pieces should be big enough that they will sink to the bottom.
