Ginger tea is easy to make at home, without any expensive tea bags! It's ready to drink in less than 10 minutes, and will warm you up from the inside out.
Slice the ginger into thin pieces, no more than 1/4-inch thick. There's no need to peel it, but you should wash off any visible dirt from the skin.
Place the sliced ginger in a small sauce pan, and cover with 8 to 12 ounces of water. If you want to make more than one serving, you can double or triple this recipe, as needed.
Bring the water to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Let the mixture simmer for at least 5 minutes (or up to 10 minutes), and then remove from the heat.
Pour the liquid through a fine mesh strainer to catch the large ginger pieces, then serve warm with a squeeze of fresh lemon and honey, to taste.
You can store extra ginger tea in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Serve it cold or reheated.
