Lemon slices and/or fresh lemon juice for serving

Sweetener of choice (like honey or stevia), to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the grated ginger, water, cinnamon stick, and lemon peel.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  3. Lower the heat and let it barely simmer for about 5 minutes to let the flavors infuse.

  5. Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a slice, and sweeten to taste.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make-ahead tip: Brew a batch and store it in the fridge. Just reheat when needed or enjoy cold.
  • Ingredient swaps: No lemon? Skip it. Want it spicier? Add more ginger. Mild version? Use less ginger and go heavy on the cinnamon.
  • Storage: Lasts 2–3 days in the fridge in a sealed jar or bottle.
  • Serving idea: Lovely with a splash of apple juice or a sprig of mint, too!
